Time Magazine's Top 100 Novels

This list is of course extremely subjective. Some novels, I literally cannot understand why they are even in the list ( For example, 'Death comes for the Archbishop'-How hard going is that? Perhaps, you have to be a Catholic to appreciate it?), but equally there have been some fantastic discoveries. Out of the 40 books I've read so far, the following now have a special place on my bookcase. More prominent even then my George Eliot books. Yes, even them.

The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter
Lucky Jim
Never Let Me Go
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
The Spy Who Came In From The Cold
Ubik
