Feel free to post your own and I will add them on when I can. :) I reserve the right to not add it if I don't think it is a list that will make any contribution. (Please no manga-only series lists. They are already numbered so that would be pointless. I am willing to consider genre manga lists though.)

Sorted in order of fictional chronology. I'd really like to add more to the last one to be honest.

Here you go Stephen King novels

If anyone goes through it and if you notice any missing (pretty sure I got them all but with that many books it's easy to miss some... I swear I went cross eyed) can you please let me know?

Thanks for those votes, guys! Particularly Voxy, Ipanema and Munky, because they're the ones who voted.

I've made a list of the project, The Writings of Henry D. Thoreau, in which everything is eventually planned to be published. All of it. I have the hardbacks and the new paperback ones as well. Does anyone have an idea of what'll happen to this list after Tom changes Books?

Authors
Bret Easton Ellis
Kurt Vonnegut - Complete Works - it's quite likely I missed some here, so any help on that would be appreciated.

The Writings of Henry D. Thoreau. The link in my other post would still be relevant if I hadn't entered the wrong title when making the list. Whatever you put at first, that sticks by as the link for all of time. Same thing with item entries you create.

Hi, I'm new so I thought I would contribute my own list to the list:

Books by T. M. Moore

which include a series of SF/F/Vampire fusion books, four of which will be released at the end of the month; and a nonfiction book on the life and work of Miyamoto Musashi.
I realize they are new and not yet "significant", but I feel I must blow my own horn. *Blush* :).

Loeb Classical Library

A sect of Harvard University Press, the Loeb Classical Library translates and makes relevant classic Greek and Latin texts for antiquity's sake. The number of Loeb volumes to date are about 500. I'm not too far from completion but the list is unfinished nonetheless.

EDIT: Your list link is awry, this is the one you meant, T. M. Moore: { http://www.listal.com/list/books-t-m-moore }. It's nice to have authors and others active in media communities on Listal. It brings a level of authenticity to the place and allows for items to be personally represented. Only the creator of an item can provide factual content on their material that isn't quoted from a friend of a friend of a source.

Looks like everyone has been busy lately (or since I've been sparsely active). I will be updating my list of lists in the first post in the next week when I a) Get internet in my flat or b) drag my laptop to the library. Whichever comes first. And then I shall jump on getting a couple more lists made up. :)

After a long interval, and my computer crapping out on me half way through the first time, we are finally updated.

I added a new section in, but any ideas on how the lists should be sorted are welcome. As is any input on what should be listed with the entries, such as the author of the series, and the like.
