Ah. That makes sense then, I suppose. XD
Although BT is in an appropriate spot! :whistle:
Just finished reading SuperFreakonomics and it is absolutely awesome! One of the best books I've ever read. So, is it included under Freakonomics?

Added it in already.

I will add in the Alchemist and Looking for Alaska

And I will add in Vinr Alfakyn's suggestions.
All added, including Lava's.

Also, I've added a new request on the OP. If you supply a book title that is in a different language, you must give the original title as well as the English Translation.
I would add Youth in Revolt by CD Payne
I wish I were a cat-dragon
I nominate Little Women. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet...unless it has been mentioned before and I was too distracted to see it, in which case: sorry. :)
Bartimaeus: It won't be the only mad thing about if you let this lot go. Check out that one at the end. He's taken the form of a footstool. Weird...but somehow I like his style.
Nathaniel: That is a footstool. No one's using that Pentacle.

Nope it's not there. I'll add it.

Numbers 57 and 73 are the same (Freakonomics). Change one to Superfreakonomics.
You might add the Kane Trilogy as well. By Rick Riordan. I started the first book (the next two are yet to release) and I find it good enough to be on the list.

^Superfreakonomics was really awesome, and should be bumped up several ranks at least when we get to ordering the list.

The urge to nominate Murders on the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allen Poe is overwhelming, mainly due to the sheer craziness of the ending, but short stories aren't included, are they?

Hmm. Just realized that this list didn't have Watchmen...

Anyways, guys, only 14 spots left!

Let's get er done
Has Angels and Demons - Dan Brown been added? Or The Da Vinci Code.
Dan Brown is a good author :D

I don't like Dan Brown as an author. But yeah, that leaves 12 spots to cover.

Say, shouldn't RoS be included? Or will it be included under Bartimaeus Trilogy? But it would no longer be a trilogy then.

Hehe.
I second that (though I know DC's reasons for saying it and though it is officially not called that).

the demons lexicon/the demons covenant/ the demons surrender trilogy by sarah rees brennan. (theres no actual title for them as a whole)

Added all those in, as well as Suite Francaise by Irène Némirovsky.

A few other lists in case you've forgotten any:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_books
Add:
1)Black Beauty - Anna Sewell
(I read the abridged version many years ago and I liked it a lot.)
2)Perry Mason series - Erle Stanley Gardner
3)Agatha Christie series
4)Robin Cook series
(I read these three series whenever I get my hands on them. I don't particularly like them but they can come in the top 100.)

Done. Though I don't know why you're adding books you don't particularly like.

AND WHY IS THERE NO LITTLE BROTHER?
I'd just like to say that our list apparently is missing quite a few staples found on nearly all lists. However I haven't read them, which seems to be the main problem I believe...
Nero wrote:Though I don't know why you're adding books you don't particularly like.
Because it has been months and we haven't even reached a 100. Also, they would be there in the top 100 of my list.

Hmm.
If someone has read them and liked them, please tell.
