Only 3 stick out for me.

Rebecca
A Tale of Two Cities
Crime and Punishment

If you haven't read those three books, you're not familiar with real literature or much about the world, really.

du Maurier's opening chapter in Rebecca is a most remarkable path through a distorted but tethered mind.

Dickens opening line too: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ...."

Dostoevsky wrote remarkable psychological novels, I might choose "The Idiot" more than this one.

Gulag Archipelago would make my list too. Remarkable insight into where we're headed.

I have read several of these great books, but for me, Blood Meridian was the most engrossing of the bunch.
A very violent and bloody story about the massacre of American Indians on the Mexican border in the 1850s.
Great writing by McCarthy as always, on a historically shameful time in our history.

Interesting that "The Stranger" is on the list as "The Outsider". I've always known it as "The Stranger". Is it actually better known as "The Outsider"?

My Antonia/Will Cather

My Jim/Nancy Rawles
Jim’s (Huckleberry Finn) wife tells her story

The Last Town on Earth/Thomas Mullen
Small mountain town quarantines itself against WWI flu epidemic. Until soldier sons of the village try to come home.

…every human value–love, patriotism, community, family, friendship–not to mention the town’s very survival, is imperiled.

Shades of Covid.

… much more so than the books on The Guardian’s critics’ top 100 list.

To me, standouts include (in no particular order)-
Slaughterhouse Five
Demon Copperhead
The Grapes of Wrath
LOTR

Am currently reading LeGuin’s The Dispossessed and am pleased to see it on this list. Very thought provoking.
