Funny how a list called "Best" has all of the books.

I agree it looks a bit funny. However, the idea behind the name was that the best books in the series would come to the top when people voted on their favourites.

Another way of looking at it is that all of them are great. :)

It is also very helpful for the many people who don't know how to add books. They get on and complain as they don't know how to add it!
