Top 100 Novels of All time

Kuvaus: Some time ago I decided I wanted to read the top 100 novels of all time. Naturally opinions on what the top novels are differs from reader to reader so I decided to get a little more scientific about my selection process.

I described the process I went through on my blog posting "The Top 100 Books of All Time here" (http://creativevisionbooks.com/blog/2007...).

Here is the list followed by the number of times it appeared in the above lists. Will you join me in a quest to read them all?
