Such lists are always a good starting point for debate and whataboutism.

I often suspect lists like these to be more of a reflection of what books people have been told are great, than any quality of the book itself. Ulysses being in the top three is a good example... I wonder how many of the people voting for it have read it.

Interesting that english people like russian literature so much. There are more russian novels on the list than french and german combined.

Synaesthesia

Now I really want to read Middlemarch.

NetMageSCW

Serious lack of SF in that list.

None of Albert Camus' work is mentioned ?!

jafo1989

No Catcher in the Rye? Bold.

I was initially very surprised to see "The god of small things" in this list and even more so to see it at 32 in the list. But then, this is a list voted for by authors, critics and academics who are probably the only set where such books are popular.
