I still have not read To Kill a Mockingbird, although it is on my list. (I suppose I should bump it up and read it soon rather than leaving it for "someday".) I have read the rest of the top ten, although most of them I do not plan to read again.
I was excited when the list first came out and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn was on it. I haven't read it in years, but I read it many times when I was younger and always think of it as a favorite. I was disappointed that Watership Down was not on it and was not surprised to see either Harry Potter or Outlander.
(I never voted, so I can't complain about the way it has turned out.)
I have all the episodes on my DVR; I just haven't had a chance to watch more than half of the first episode (the one from last spring, introducing the books and the voting.) I've been following their Facebook page all summer, and I have enjoyed the little tidbits that they have been sharing about all of the books.
I'm sad that so many of you seem so down on all of the choices; I had hoped there would be discussion each week about the books that were discussed and maybe what people would have preferred to see in each broad category, but it seems like this has been all about how disappointed everyone is in yet another Vote Every Day contest. I loved the idea that this one was about books and I really expected lively, rabbit-hole filled discussions every week that were jump-started by each episode theme.
(I admit I could have started something myself, but I was sort of waiting until I finished that first episode.
