| JACOBS’ TOP 10 BOOKS
|
|||
|
It is difficult, almost impossible to determine what the top 10 novels of all times are. How can anyone list the top ten books without including such classics as Ulysses by James Joyce, The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner, The Brothers Karamazov, by Fyodr Dostoyevsky or any novel written by Goethe, Leo Tolstoy or so many other superb writers.
Clearly recognizing that the following list of novels does not represent “The Best” novels of all times, here is a suggested Top Ten list of novels that will not let you down. |
