The selections are really hit and miss for me. I would not be caught dead reading Dan Brown or John Green, but I adore Asimov, Walker, Zadie Smith, and many of the other titles.
To me, the list looks evenly split between required high school reading, popular fiction, and some of the more popular recent literary fiction. I think it's an interesting window into what readers in the US are or are not reading, but I am not interested enough in it to follow it as a TV show or participate in voting.
