The Drop of Eternity

Shuffling through books and through lists of valuable books, I have found this list published by The Observer, of  the 100 greatest novels of all times. The list of course can be polished and titles can be added to it easily. The letter effects below are my own representation of the books. Bold and underlined means that I have read the books. Italics that I have started to read them but from various reasons have given up. The rest is a wish list for me to make the list all red.
