This is a great list and I've barely made a dent in it. One thing that makes me nervous, however, is the listing of The Shining by Stephen King. That might be one of his worst books. I wonder if the author of this list felt inclined to include The Shining because it inspired such a fantastic movie. Unfortunately, Stanley Kubrik even stated that The Shining was a lousy book and he made the movie only because he liked the imagery so much. Also, Interview With A Vampire? That book was really cheesy.
