Thank you for your help in compiling this information. The list was determined 25 May 2011.

What other authors and titles would you suggest for this category - please add your ideas in blue.

For the first phase of this project we need to identify 500 adult fiction titles which together are indicative of a healthy adult fiction collection. This is not a shopping list of titles, but an indicative list. There will be a very broad range of titles in this list from the very popular to the very literacy. Find out more about the project here.

Please add your suggested authors and titles to the wiki in dark blue. Do not delete or edit (unless to correct spelling) the work of others as we need as many suggestions as possible so that the final list is indicative and robust.
