Tony - I am so happy to find this list on Goodreads! I was searching Listopia specifically to see if anyone had put it up, and here it is. :)

Comparing the list to the original list in the PDF you linked, 13 titles (*listed below) from the original 115 of the "working canon" have been omitted from this Listopia list, so I've added them. (They were all books that fell on page 2 of the PDF - in the main "working canon" area, not the much larger full list - but several others from the same area of the list, such as Cloud Atlas, made it onto this Listopia list, so...who knows?)

Of course, as there were already 110 titles listed here, when I added the missing 13 the total comes to 123, which is 8 more than the original list. Perhaps some off-list books were added by others? (Or possibly books from the extended list outside the "working canon" in the PDF. I haven't combed through to find them.)

Thanks again for putting this up! It's great to have it as a way of tracking progress through the "canon".

* The books I added to make this list match the original:

X, Y by Michael Blumlein
Tainaron: Mail from Another City by Leena Krohn
Medea the Sorceress by Diane Wakoski
The Wall of the Sky, the Wall of the Eye by Jonathan Lethem
Godmother Night by Rachel Pollack
Big Fish by Daniel Wallace
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
The Library by Zoran Živković
The Impossible Bird by Patrick O'Leary
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
Pattern Recognition by William Gibson
Crossroads: Tales of the Southern Literary Fantastic by F. Brett Cox, Andy Duncan
The Girl in the Glass by Jeffrey Ford

Thanks Candiss! I had hoped to add the entire list originally, but a single person can only add a maximum of 100 titles to any List, so I've been hoping that someone else would come along and add the others!

I'll see if I can track down the ones that have been added that weren't on the original.

If I know the titles of the non-kosher (and hopefully their approximate placement on the list), I can remove them.

I removed a bunch yesterday, though now we're one short again…
