Just to put this list in perspective - and I'm not saying that these novels are bad, but that the choice is of course partial - here is a list of some authors that wrote novels which might have been a very good choice for the list too : Marcel Proust, Isaac Asimov, Jorge Luis Borges, Dino Buzzati, Agatha Christie, Philip K. Dick, Umberto Eco, Federico García Lorca, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Aldous Huxley, Milan Kundera, Salman Rushdie, Franz Kafka, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Virginia Woolf, Stefan Zweig, Albert Camus... just to name a few.
