Top 100 Killer Thrillers

I found this NPR list of thrillers from PinkFlipFlops a couple months ago. I love book lists of all sorts so I book marked it to read when I had some time. The listed was voted on by NPR listeners.

The bolded books are ones I've read. The green ones are one I own, but haven't read.

As you can see, I haven't read a lot of the books on this list. I'm such a sucker for a book list though.
