LibraryThing's Top 1000 Books: 001-500 - Page 8

LibraryThing describes itself as "A home for your books" and "A community of 2,375,000 book lovers" (sound familiar?)
Anyway here are the first 500 books on their list of "Top 1000 Books". The remainder may follow soon, depending on how much fresh air we get down here in Sydney.
BTW, Item 305 was missing an entry, so I made a substitution which many above a certain age might be able to relate to (I didn't create the icon though).
