Here's the daily update!
There haven't been many changes, and I think this is not going to increase.
46 books have been confirmed, and I would like to get that to 50, so I can focus on making the actual chart!
So 4 books from the 'one person' list can still be added, or new recommendations; as long as there are other people backing it up, it can be on the list.
Note that I'm not trying to force to get 50 books on the chart (if we end up with fewer, that's also fine), but rather saying that there are only 4 more places until I start making the chart.
If books are going to be added after that, another book will have to have to be deleted from the chart.

>Important:
Joseph Heller - Something Happened, and Kenzaburo Oe - Teach Us to Outgrow Our Madness, are both on the 'one person' chart. Both of these are pretty big writers, have other people read these works? The people who recommended these works spoke highly of them.

Key:
Green - Books that stay
Blue - Books being replaced by another by the same author
Orange - Books on which it's undecided
Red - Books that will be removed
Nothing - This book has not been talked about, so I have almost no information on it

>Books that are going to be added:
[replacements]
Marquis de Sade - 120 Days of Sodom
Cormac McCarthy - Blood Meridian
Sarah Kane - Cleansed
Joyce Carol Oates - Zombie
Hubert Selby Jr. - The Room
J.G. Ballard - Crash
Peter Sotos - Proxy

Slavenka Draculic - The Taste of a Man
J T LeRoy - The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things
