Consensus cloud of 100 books everyone should read.

The producer of this cloud has helpfully provided his data and analysis here:

The editor in me is displeased that Twain's book is called The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn instead of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as it's actually called, on the subject of which book I done did wrote 'n such: http://www.alexfvance.com/huck-finn-n-word-jim-and-sweet-delicious-nege

And the typographer in me is displeased that a straight apostrophe was used in Hitch-Hiker's while a serif font clearly longs for a smart single-quote...

And I think The Invisible Man should have been written white-on-white, but that's just the turtleneck side of me.
