I've read eight, but then again, I'm not very well-read.
Make it a list of the top 100 comic arcs, and I'll be a
little better off. OTOH, this list's top pick is from my
favorite ever novel, The Great Gatsby. Yay! All the
characters are brilliant IMO, but Gatsby himself has got
to be the best - "he invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby
that a seventeen year old boy would be likely to invent,
and to this conception he was faithful to the end."

Meanwhile, I can't believe Clarissa Dalloway made it. I
hated her! Then again, I hated that whole book.... -_-

I haven't read any of the pulp stuff on the list, so I'm
putting them all on my Amazon wishlist so as to keep them
in mind. *clicks* Hmmm...it's telling me that others who
have bought The Maltese Falcon also want The Big Sleep,
The Thin Man, and...Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone?!
