It seems to me that there is a lot of debate about what would be the essential 100 books of all time.

I'd be happy to start a new thread where people here can nominate their favourite 10 books, say, and I'll compile a top 100 (or maybe 50) list from that if enough people respons.

Before I do that, though, I'd be interested to know if people think it's a good idea (maybe it's been done before?) and whether or not we should have some stipulations (e.g. not all sci-fi, the ten books chosen have to be from a variety of decades (or centuries), all English language (or widely available in translation), that kind of thing.

Please let me know - I'm happy to start such a thread and pull all the results together.
