Ack! — 1 year ago

Someone has screwed with the list. If Dracula is the greatest novel of all time, then I’m Don Quixote.

Thanks for doing this list!

I just changed The Three Musketeers to a version with the title spelled correctly. (From this one.) Also, the version of Les Miserables you’ve got on here is the score for the musical (not the novel), which I’m pretty sure is wrong, but I left it anyway….
