Ok, so we all know that I posted the "Big Read" list 2 posts ago. Since then, a couple of my fellow bloggers have posted the list on their blogs and a commenter on SharonGR's blog noted "where are #44 and #51?"
I have been trying to track down where they are but, more mysteriously, I can't figure out where the list itself came from.
Going through the blogger breadcrumb trail, I went through:
ktbuffy to
House of the D. to
The Perpetual Writer's Blog
and then dead-ended.
I also googled NEA Big Read 100 books and went through another blog trail which ends here:
The Publishing Curve
On NEA's Big Read page, they only have 16 featured books (and most aren't on this list of 100).
Can anyone solve this mystery?

My friend Alan M. Did. 44 is A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, and 51 is The Life of Pi by Yann Martel. He also gave me a link to someone else looking into the murky origins of the list.
All that and snark, back at my meme entry.
