Lists of Bests: Henry Miller's "Ideal Library" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/27032 The American author Henry Miller (1891-1980) is best known for his experimental novels based on expatriate life in Paris in the 30's and 40's, such as <i>Tropic of Cancer</i> and <i>Tropic of Capricorn</i>. Many of his works were first published in France and banned by U.S. courts for decades, on charges of obscenity. Miller compiled this list of greatest literary works for the book <i>Pour une Bibliotheque Ideale</i>, edited by Raymond Queneau. http://www.literarycritic.com/miller.htm Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:51:59 GMT en-us 0 50 30 0 0 Stories From the Arabian Nights http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/2707840 <div id="position">1</div><div class="place-image-placeholder"><span class="qm">*</span></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by Laurence Housman</div> The Faber Book of Greek Legends http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/2707853 <div id="position">2</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/2707853"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/0571206727.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div> The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/95267 <div id="position">3</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/95267"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/0394709306.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by Brothers Grimm</div> Andersen's Fairy Tales (The Children's Classics) http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/488072 <div id="position">4</div><div class="place-image-placeholder"><span class="qm">*</span></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by Hans Christian Anderson</div> Robinson Crusoe http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/38133 <div id="position">5</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/38133"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/0689844085.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by Daniel Defoe</div> Gulliver's Travels (Penguin Classics) http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/3510 <div id="position">6</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/3510"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/0141439491.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by Jonathan Swift</div> Peck's Bad Boy And His Pa http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/1216097 <div id="position">7</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/1216097"><img src="http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/080950085X.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by George W.
