Yep, it's like the old 'Desert Islands Disks' problem - guests were asked what book they'd take to a desert island. So many said 'The Bible' or 'Works of Shakespeare' it got boring, so they were pre-provided whether the guest wanted them or not.
Thinking about it a bit more, it would be interesting to take the complete output from an author like Dickens, and see how all their works would be ranked. I haven't seen that done before.
