    Very curious to know what this list is based on?

    You mean a list where Harry Potter is better than Moby Dick, or hell, any of the other 93 entries? I, too, would like to know.

    Too funny,
    Harry Potter #7 is exactly what raised my eyebrows.

    Well, everybody who's read LotR has also read The Hobbit, but not everybody who's read The Hobbit has also read LotR. So if you pick just one, to save space, that might be excused by "trying to take into account each work's cultural impact and influence." In theory, anyway, maybe.

    This is in the movie list and not King related, but I find it a head scratcher! They have Jaws as the 18th best film (I have it in my personal top 4). They then have a picture of King Kong with Gollum sitting on his arm and Frankenstein's monster in his hand while a trio of great whites swim threw the air around him. the attached caption about movie monsters says "we still fear the water thanks to the shark in Jaws". But when they have their mini list of the 10 Greatest Horror Flicks Jaws is no where to be found. A great film that did for beaches and water in general what Psycho (ranked #1) did for showers! I just don't get it!
