I've searched this forum and found two threads asking for Laurence Sterne to be included on the authors list, neither of which received a definitive answer.
I am currently reading Tristram Shandy and would be interested in the opinions of others who have read it. For the record, the other Sterne book that has been previously suggested was A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy.
Tristram Shandy is a famous and influential work and comfortably old enough to fall within the public domain - I think it deserves a spot on the authors list.
