ones I accept read bits of. Or in other words, given up on:
6 The Bible
fourteen Complete Works of Shakespeare is information technology cheating to say you've read $.25 of the complete works?
31. Anna Karenina – Leo Tolstoy - I could non continue the Russian names direct, & gave up when I had no idea what was happening
93 The Wasp Factory – Iain Banks
75 Ulysses – James Joyce - I actively hated this book
Ones I own and will probably never go effectually to reading given my terrible affliction of buying books faster than I can read:
20 Middlemarch – George Eliot
66 On the Route – Jack Kerouac
89 Adventures of Sherlock Holmes – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
100 Les Miserables – Victor Hugo
I'm just going to say information technology's a travesty that there's no Terry Pratchett on the listing
ane Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen12 Tess of the D'Urbervilles – Thomas Hardy
22 The Smashing Gatsby – F Scott Fitzgerald
54 Sense and Sensibility – Jane Austen
65 Count of Monte Cristo – Alexandre Dumas
Books that I woul include would be:
"The perks of existence a wallflower"-Stephen Chobsky
"The lost symbol"-Dan Brown
"50 days before my suicide"-Stace Kramer
"Arch of triumph"-E.Yard. Remarque
I've read 34, not as well bad. That said this is inappreciably a list anyone should take too seriously. How Cloud Atlas is there is across me. Really did not enjoy that.
And Dan Brownish's presence is nothing short of a travesty. The reason information technology was was included is because it'southward probably the just book some people have ever read thank you to the huge fuss that was fabricated about information technology a few years back.
And no mention of Pearl S Buck's Adept Earth or of Gunter Grass' Tim Pulsate - shame on you!!

In that location are so many I recall should be on there. The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver and The Scarlet Letter of the alphabet by Hawthorne and The Consummate Works of Flannery O'Connor should all exist included. This is a great listing, though. Thanks!
This is NOT an assault on your "List," personally, or even directed at yous as the one who butchered the original list. I can empathise if y'all won't allow this to remain posted and desire to remove it. It really is intended to bring the Right List to the light of examination. I apologize for expressing my heartfelt concern, simply I am an English Literature major and I am thoroughly ashamed of whoever hacked the original List and removed so many Keen AUTHORS!?! For your own proofs, contact your local English language Department, and ask an teacher or professor.
To evidence my bespeak up front... what happened to Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea?"
FYI: Please forgive whatsoever misspellings, cause I'm merely gonna rattle off the obvious wrongful eliminations still in my memory. If you are interested in more "What happened to..." there'due south: Vonnegut, Saavedra, H.G. Wells, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Chaucer, Voltaire, R. Ellison, Hawthorne, James Joyce, Lord Bryan, Sophocles, Franz Thou., Homer, William Blake, Edgar Allen Poe, Dostoyevsky, Theroux, Whitman, Camus, John Bunyan, Jonathan Swift, Edward Fitzgerald,John Irving, J.1000. Barrie (Peter Pan), G.B. Shaw, Arthur Miller, Ray Bradbury, Ken Kesey, R. Kipling, Mary Shelly, James Cooper, Truman Capote, R.Fifty.S'south "Treasure Island"... and many many more removed from this erroneous entry, that I hadn't missed yet, or hadn't thought of all the same, and I humbly say, "erroneous," considering this posting toted it was the "THE list of the Top 100 Books you lot must read before you die."
Even the commercial site "Amazon," will return a more than accurate listing if you querry; "Top 100 Literary Classics."
I love Steven Male monarch's "The Stand up," Dashiell Hammett, and Ian Fleming, Philip K. Dick's "Do Android'southward Dream of Electric Sheep?", Heinlein's "Celebrity Road", And the greatest contemporary scientific discipline-fiction ever written... "Ender'due south Game" (by Orson Scott Bill of fare),but there is ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THOSE MISSING Writer'S Y'all COULD BUMP to justify displaying your's or my personal choices. It would be amend to "Expand" the list to "TOP 125" then to omit an original literary masterpiece.
A humble servant to original classical Literature. ~JPW

I think these books should exist added to the list:
Out of Africa
No. i Ladies Detective Agency series
A Wrinkle in Time
The Book Theif
The Jungle Book
Simply so Stories
Neverending Story
I know this is an old thread but it came up in a google search as I was looking for something skilful to read that I haven't read before. 2 things about this list: 1) why are whole volume serial included? There tin be dozens of books in a series, not simply one. At that place should be a divide list for books with more than ane volume.
2) why is Midnight's Children in here but not The Satanic Verses? MC is good simply is Non definitive Rushdie... Surely not because of the whole fatwa business? Mind you this is the BBC's list...
