Winners of January 2006 Trivia

What was the name of the very well known novel that missed out on the Time Magazine best 100 novel list and why was it omitted?

 Answer: Ulysses was published in 1922. As the list was restricted to books published since Time Magazine was first published (1923), Ulysses had to be omitted.

The 2 winners of a box of Lindt chocolates were: Kerri Thomas, Victoria and Frances Matthews, WA.
