The Next 1001

Add to my lists | Print this list

Books omitted from Dr. Boxall’s list or published too late for inclusion, but all books that are equal to the books on his list. I invite serious readers of literary fiction to contribute to this list. The only rules are (1) must be fiction or literary memoirs, (2) must be equal in literary quality to the books on the original list, and (3) must not be "thesis fiction" (i.e. books by Ayn Rand etc.) Please add comments if you feel so moved!
