Note, not one book by Pynchon is included in this Top 1000 list.  It does 
contain many great works, also including audio recordings of ceratin 
symphonies.  But it ranks "Garfield at Large" as #15!  It also includes 
other comic strip collections (Doonesbury,Far Side, Dilbert).  And it 
includes FIVE Harry Potter books.  And let's not forget to include "Left 
Behind" and "Dianetics."

This is a list that librarians have chosen as "worth owning" in their 
library, and not one book by Pynchon!
