The situation so far... in case you are not keeping count:
Given some restrictions, like only accepting the first 10 mentioned by
anyone ... so far we have 73 submissions, 4 have been recommended 3
times, 9 have been recommended twice and the rest once. And just to
confirm that my literary education is somewhat lacking, I noticed that
I've read only 4 of them.
Any more recommendations?
Thanks,
Robert C

Ok, so I've decided my literary education is somewhat lacking and
would like to know this group's recommendations for the "10 Best
Literary Works" I should read. They have to be works of fiction and
available in English and not just say of 2009 but of all time. Google
searches tend to list the best of a year or be listed by one
particular publisher. This is a good group to poll since you all
(most) have at least some kind of scientific/technical bent. So I
know the suggestions will be good ones for me!
Once I have a list of all suggestions maybe I'll ask you all to vote
on them.
My list currently starts with Frank's recommendation today:
"Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West" by Cormac
McCarthy
Thanks!
