The Greatest Books
"This list is generated from 114 "best of" book lists from a variety of great sources. An algorithm is used to create a master list based on how many lists a particular book appears on. Some lists count more than others. I generally trust "best of all time" lists voted by authors and experts over user-generated lists. On the lists that are actually ranked, the book that is 1st counts a lot more than the book that's 100th."
1 . Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
2 . In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust
etc.
The Greatest Nonfiction Books
1 . Confessions by Augustine
2 . Essays by Michel de Montaigne
3 . The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
