Am I opening myself up to being pelted with vegetables if I admit that I did not like To Kill a Mockingbird? ::ducks::
To have it sitting on a list *above* Shakespeare seems like sacrilege to me. But that's just me, I suppose.
As far as books I could not live without, I'm honestly not sure. Though I could probably come up with ten and then make puppy eyes and beg for more. In no particular order.
1. Alexandre Dumas - Le comte de Monte-Cristo 2. Complete Works of William Shakespeare 3. Complete Works of Christopher Marlowe 4. Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice 5. Charlotte Brontë - Jane Eyre 6. Guy Gavriel Kay - The Lions of Al-Rassan 7. Frances Hodgson Burnett - A Little Princess 8. Sharon Kay Penman - The Sunne in Splendour 9. Ellen Kushner (and Delia Sherman) - The Riverside books (they do exist in a single volume though I'm not certain if that's the title) 10. Philip Pullman - The Sally Lockhart trilogy (I haven't seen a single-volume set yet, but I'm certain it will appear sooner or later)
...and if I had another space, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
