		<description>In no particular order (as I would find that impossible!):

Middlemarch, George Eliot
Great Expectations, Charles Dickens
The Wings of the Dove, Henry James
Moby-Dick, Herman Melville
Vanity Fair, William Makepeace Thackeray
To the Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf
Notre-Dame de Paris, Victor Hugo
In Search of Lost Time, Marcel Proust
The Tale of Genji, Lady Murasaki Shikibu
Villette, Charlotte Bronte

Do I believe this are the best novels ever written? Not really (well, &quot;In Search of Lost Time&quot; I do consider the greatest), but overall these are here simply on the basis of how deeply they affected my life.

P.S. In reference to your quip at Harold Bloom&#039;s list at the end of &quot;The Western Canon,&quot; Bloom himself believes it silly as well. On several occasions he has claimed that publishers forced him to write it, and that he did not and does not &quot;take it seriously.&quot; Indeed, he fervently wishes it be removed from any future editions of the work as, ultimately, &quot;readers and writers decide the Canon, not the critics.&quot;</description>

		<description>I have a few I am rather fond of, in no particular order :

Lord of the Rings

Harry Potter

Dragonriders of Pern series, Anne McCaffrey

Rendezvous with Rama, Arthur C. Clarke

Magician/Silverthorn/Darkness at Sethanon, Raymond Feist

Recently I have been reading the Lensman series by E.E. &#039;Doc&#039; Smith, quite enjoyable, if you can take the frequent use of superlatives.

Short story I really like :
The Last Question, Isaac Asimov

There is more, but enough for now.</description>
