Do people like me who posted their top tens earlier in the thread need to choose again? Or are they already counted?

Deadline for submitting entries - December 10th, 2012.

I hope the compilation work is over and we have the 100 with us before New Year's Eve. It should be a fitting New Year gift from the good ol' Doc Faustus to HDC.

Thank you for all of your submissions, folks. We have received an overwhelming number of entries.

Compilation work starts from today. Will keep you posted on the progress and developments as they happen, before chiseling out the final top 100.

I have completed the first round of compiling. 50 books have made the cut so far.

We need 50 more. And for this, I need your collective help.

As many as 145 entries have ended up being nominated ONCE. I will need you to back up some of these choices, to make it into the final tally.

Since we need 50 out of a possible 145, we will tackle this with batches of 5 - five master lists of 29 nominations in number. You will have to select 10 nominations, out of the 29 posted, to back them up with your support. You may post your choices in this thread, or through PM to me.

If you feel a particular book/short story/poem doesn't deserve to make the cut (out of these lists), feel free to post it along with your reasons. Vice versa, if you feel that a particular book/short story/poem DESERVES to make the cut, post your reasons why. If you get enough people to agree with you, it will be in.

Please don't select a written work just because you nominated it, but look at the overall picture and see if it is a fitting entry to be marked permanently in a Top 100 list. Remember, quality comes first.

Here we go with the first list of 29 nominations. All the best choosing, folks!

A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess
A Warning To The Curious - M R James
