All-Time 100 Greatest Novels, have you read any? In year 2006, two critics of Time magazine had selected 100 best English language novels from 1923 to the present. http://wapedia.mobi/en/All-Time_100_Greatest_Novels What I have finished (mostly not in the original) are as follows: Animal Farm, The Blind Assassin, Catch-22, The Golden Notebook , Gone With the Wind, The Grapes of Wrath, The Great Gatsby, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, Herzog, Light in August, Lord of the Flies, Naked Lunch,Mrs. Dalloway, 1984, On the Road, A Passage to India, Slaughterhouse-Five, The Sun Also Rises, The Sound and the Fury, To the Lighthouse ,White Teeth. Some of the names actually seem unknown to me, for example, Jean Rhys. Personally I prefer William Faulkner's style though his works in general are not regarded as easy reads. Lately finished with The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. What about you?
