Spoiler:

The list of top 15:

1. The Kite Runner
2. The Da Vinci Code
3. Life of Pi
4. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
5. The Lovely Bones
6. The Time Traveler's Wife
7. Memoirs of a Geisha
8. Fight Club
9. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1)
10. The Help
11. The Road
12. Angels and Demons
13. Atonement
14. Middlesex
15. American Psycho

Books from this list that I would exclude:

• The Kite Runner
• The Da Vinci Code
• The Lovely Bones
• The Time Traveler's Wife
• Memoirs of a Geisha
• The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1)
• The Road
• Angels and Demons

I should also say that among the books that I did not exclude there are some that I would never nominate or vote for. I can't make an argument that those don't fit the category though.

Thank you!

I understand and agree with it being sorted out during the nominations, I was just trying to get a better understanding of the "genre" as its not one I would normally look for, specifically.
