Melusine, may I say, a very literate list. Has anyone ever figured out why women like Wuthering Heights and men don't? Attalus loathes it, saying that everybody in it needs drastically to be kicked, starting with Heathcliff, whom I think is dreamy. My favorite book of all time is (predictably) The Lord of the Rings. After that, the Divine Comedy, almost all of Shakespeare, The Hunting of the Snark, Zelazny's Dilvish the Damned, Heinlein's Starship Troopers and The Glory Road, Patricia McKillip's Riddlemaster Trilogy, and many, many more.
