I recommend “A Fine Balance” by Rohinton Mistry. Is life a fine balance between hope and despair?

I read a lot of Dr Seuss books to my kids and they love them and it’s more or less adult books because the things in there adults understand and find funny as well. Dr Seuss is, WAS, a great writer and always will be.

I feel both “Brothers Karamazov” and “East of Eden” should be on this list…

A great political novel – perhaps the greatest political novel ever written – is Arthur Koestler’s Darkness at Noon. Wriien during the time of the Great Purges in Russia, it is a scathing indictment of the Dictatorshop of the Proletariat and an acute analysis of political systems. The central character, Nicholas Salmanovich Rubashov, is arrested and forced to re-evaluate his belief in the Party after serving the Party faithfully for over forty years. It is a challenging novel, rich in imagery and religious and literary allusion.

Honestly Rafael? Why should I be ashamed of creating a mathmatically ranked listing of books?

As I make my way through this list I’m sure I’ll really dislike some of the books, and a few may make it on my favorites list.

So what!

At least I’ve provided for myself (and anyone else who wants to use it) a listing of what several literary groups consider to be the best books and given myself just one of many resources to use in selecting a book to read.

So if it is sheer nonsense to you don’t use the list. But don’t you dare try making me feel ashamed for being a little curious and wanting to know how the various lists stacked up against each other!

Thanks Bre for the input. I know that for many the Harry Potter series is a favorite.
