That's the whole list.  At least the whole list of fiction (the
overall list has other categories like film and music).  While
I wouldn't have removed any of these (well, I'm of the mind that
"Herzog" is better than "Humboldt's Gift"), I would have liked
to  have seen a few other books make the list.
