If the originator of this list, Her Royal Orangeness, is monitoring this list, I have a question: Should the SETTING of these books be within the last 25 years (say, 1990 and up)? or should they be WRITTEN in the past 25 years? If it's the setting, then a book about the French Revolution would not be eligible even though it was written in 2015. It seems some of the voters are mixed up about what Contemporary Fiction means.
Madame Bovary (#32) by Gustave Flaubert? Really??? The man died in 1880 ... (The description says Contemporary fiction (within the last 25 years or so) that is set in France and/or written by French authors)
