2008 Edition of 1001 Books: New Additons

The 2008 edition of 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die is out, and Ashleigh has posted the updated list in its entirety. The revised list is more international this time around; I've not heard of most of the books or authors in the updates, so the additions listed below should keep me from ever experiencing a sense of being well-read.

I hate that Rebecca West's The Birds Fall Down was cut from the revised list, am happy that Christina Stead's The Man Who Loved Children and Joan Didion's Play It As It Lays made the grade, and cannot understand the inclusion of Robert Merle's The Day of the Dolphin at all. And psst, Amos Oz's A Tale of Love and Darkness is a memoir.

Edited to add: And they took out The Brothers Karamazov! The horror!
