caels's "Erik Smietana's 100 Greatest Novels Of All Time"

The is a collection of my favorite novels, not simply books, and as such excludes such masterpieces as Milton’s Pardise Lost and works of genius such as Newton’s Principia. By the way, I must recommend you read these works in their original language, they are far superior than their respective translations.
