Okolo3662:Great collections. I have read almost all of them. Maya Angelou's "Why The Caged Bird Sings" should be there too. I place it side by side with Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mocking Bird ". I love The Great Gatsby and had to read it again like it's a textbook. Very technical book of the roving 1920s when alcohol was a contraband. The Old money vs New money thing in the book still exists till date 2 Likes |

EmperorCaesar: Those books are rated based on copies sold. Go on Wikipedia and see the bestsellers and their sales records. Things Fall Apart is one of the best-selling books in this world. 12 Likes |
