But I think it's interesting to see what books get read anyway. And remember that it gives 100 points to the first book, 99 to the second and so on, so I would also include at least the 3 and 4 star books. If you have voted for 30 books it will only give 70 (or 71) points to the last one.
Cool as! Thanks for making this list :) so many of these titles are on my TBR list. It'll be great to refer to this list and vote along for my favourites.
I'd like to think I'm not being biased here ... well, sure I am, but I believe The Count of Monte Cristo should be in the top 5, and at least in the top 10! Come on people, read it!

Oh, I'll do it. I've actually read that.

I'm running out of room again, and was hoping to remove my votes for my least favorites.
If not, no big deal, I have read it and I can just remove my vote for something a bit more popular.

I voted for it for you.

The list is complete (at the moment).
Since these are the books the group has discussed, if you like the list and like discussing books like them, you might enjoy the group.

Thanks for the offer but I'm moderator of a Dutch/Flemish group and am spending too much time on GR as it is. Don't get me wrong, I love it, just like I love reading ;-) But I'm smart enough not to join other groups anymore, like I used to, because I know don't have enough spare time to do so.

I just voted for it, though, if you want to remove your vote again.
![Katy](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1415064451p1/2758455.jpg)
Oh cool -- so nice to hear that Karen. I'm looking forward to seeing how many you read.
![Melanti](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1286146966p1/3034846.jpg)
Sounds like a fun plan! The group has read a lot of great books.
![Melanti](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1286146966p1/3034846.jpg)
I've deleted the adaptation and re-added the real thing, so if anyone wonders what happened to their vote, or wants to vote again, you should be able to find the right book in the list now.

Melanti - are you going to change the Listopia entry for Notes From the Underground to a non-omnibus edition...?
![Melanti](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1286146966p1/3034846.jpg)
Yep. I bet you (and hundreds of thousands of other people) have Alice in Wonderland shelved rather than Carroll's version. But it's odd that it wouldn't let you delete it.
![Darren](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1454936698p1/51183187.jpg)
Curiouser and curiouser... ;o)
![Melanti](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1286146966p1/3034846.jpg)
I think part of the problem is that a lot of people search for "Alice in Wonderland" rather than "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". The abbreviated title is what people are used to due to the film versions, but that's more likely to pull up adaptations rather than the original book.
Here's the edition I've been adding to this group's listings: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
It's actually the second most popular edition, rather than the default, since the default is a Kindle edition.

![Melanti](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1286146966p1/3034846.jpg)
Adaptations/omnibuses do frequently get combined with the full work by default then separated when someone notices, but it's really, really rare for it to be the primary/default edition.

I have to agree and new ones coming every month:-)

I think I'd like to vote on it sometime, although it looks like a lot of work, sorting the books into a total hirarchy.
>.<
Scrolling through the list, I realized that most of those books I read aren't even marked as such yet ... I fear I'm never managing to get my books sorted and listed on my own goodreads shelf ...

![J_BlueFlower](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1310038327p1/5663651.jpg)
These were both on the list. I have removed the second one.

Please say you've used the duplicate check... Since you're a GR librarian, I didn't doubt it when I read 'Removed duplicate' but then you said you'd removed the second one, and my doubts started to 'raise their heads', as it were....
![J_BlueFlower](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1310038327p1/5663651.jpg)
I also ran the check just now, and it found no duplicates. There is 293 books on the list and 292 on the shelf. So one too many somewhere here.
![Nente](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1714301737p1/22056219.jpg)
Edit: or Quartet in Autumn, or other books at the end of the list? There are 10 extra books at the moment.
![Darren](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1454936698p1/51183187.jpg)
is just anybody allowed to add?

Unfortunately, yes. GR doesn't have a way to lock the list. I'll see if I can figure out how to delete books from the list.

If you could give me the book number on the list of books that don't belong that would help, maybe we can get GR librarians to remove them for us.
