Berry's "Bojnberry's Top n Classic Books"

This list was made by taking the numbered lists from the old Everyman’s Library, the new Everyman’s, the Oxford world Classics and the numbered list at the back of a Modern Library book I have and algorithming them up to this list. Geeky, but fun. And now I’m reading them. Feel free to join in.

note: It’s n because the list has over 1500 entries, and I don’t know when I’ll get fed up ntering them ;)
