  1. Well, I only managed to predict two in my previous post...but they didn't make the list anyway. All of these books are so highly acclaimed. I was hoping for a dark horse. Ah well!

    I'm glad to see 'Annabel' made the list, which I was actually going to add my earlier post. I really enjoyed Jeffrey Euginides' 'Middlesex'-- not to say they will be anything alike, but it did come to mind. Surely there aren't that many books about hermaphrodites out there.
