[Tim]

Looks good Man.

[Tim]

I'd probably keep Père Goriot/Les Misérables/Dead Souls/Bleak House over Sons and Lovers and maybe even over Le Morte d'Arthur/Utopia, looking at my old list.

[ManPerson]

Fair enough

[ManPerson]

Extended the list to 100

[Tim]

Looks good so far, Man.

[Fido]

Tom Jones being so high and the highest picaresque novel, a Spanish invention with Lazarillo de Tormes, Guzmán de Alfarache or El buscón, makes me sad.

[Tim]

Probably other way around at "puerta de los sueños digitales"

I do wanna see release years listed here for easy reference
