Nice!

Since when is a horse an object?

I did wonder about that, but one of the definitions of 'object' in my dictionary is "a thing observed" - so any 'thing' counts...unless the list creator wants to specify that the objects should be inanimate?

I love the divergent perspectives on my original short description for this list! I did indeed have something specific in mind for this list and have updated the description to reflect this. However, the list has already been successful in introducing me to a book that I had not read that seems to belong equally to the family that inspired it: Annie Proulx's Accordion Crimes. I wonder if there are more?

Accordian Crimes is amazing, but then in my eyes most things that Annie Proulx writes are.

I have this inkling that I know more books like this, but so far, the mind is hazy.

I suppose it would be too much of a stretch to include Edward Rutherfurd's books here, wouldn't it? They do follow some core "thing" over time, but the thing in question is a particular city, country or geographical area -- which however is not only the focus of the book but becomes a character in its own right, and is followed via the interconnected destinies of several families living in the city/country/region in question.

How Green Was My Valley

You add a book at the top of the list, at the tab next to "all votes."

I don't think Harry Potter belongs on this list.
