  1. There is a few on there that's on my TR list. Like the fact that you have a couple of Stephen Kings on there. I am struggling with mine. Have only got to five. Going to have to think about it and post mine after work.

  2. Great list. Although I haven't read any of them. But, I do know the stories of most of them.
