    "Dictionary of the Khazars: A Lexicon Novel" by Milorad Pavić.
    "Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov.
    "The Visit" by Dürrenmatt
    "The Hours" by Cunningham
    "Song of Ice and Fire" series by Martin
    And the others:

    "The Clay Machine Gun" by Viktor Pelevin
    "Ugly Swans" by Arkadi and Boris Strugatsky
    "Border State" by Emil Tode
    "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera
    "Small Gods" by Terry Pratchett
    "Norwegian Wood" by Haruki Murakami
    The Poetic Edda
    The Hyperion series by Simmons, "Hyperion", if I must choose one.
    The Earthsea Quartet by Ursula K. Le Guin, "The Farthest Shore", if I must pick one.
    "Someplace to Be Flying" by Charles de Lint

    I am afraid that the most books I chose will not end up in the list, due being mostly non-classical, not written in English or speculative fiction. But still, I've had my say, at least.

    EDIT: Changed the last one.

    If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.

    Ok, I am now going to start working on putting together the final list of the Lit Nets 100 Best books

    Thanks to all who participated.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
