Well, here's a list proposed by Det Norske Bokklubben (who happens to be a competitor of mine, but I have to give credit where credit is due): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_100_Best_Books_of_All_Time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_100_Best_Books_of_All_Time You'll notice that it's much less heavily biased toward 20th Century English-language literature.
