I strongly encourage every serious readers to search out these books. Eternal City is not as well known (published first in 1898) as most classics, but I am convinced that its message will stand the test of time. Three Kingdoms is one of the four pillars of Chinese literature, the other three being: Outlaws of the Marsh (aka The Water Margin) Dream of the Red Chamber Journey to the West Hall Caine – The Eternal City
Luo Guangzhou – Three Kingdoms

These are two of my most favorite of all classics; up there with the likes of Dante’s Divine Comedy, Hugo’s Les Miserables, Dumas’ Count of Monte Cristo, and Plato’s Republic.

Give this guy a break! This is only his opinion, and there is no way (as he stated) to list and read all of the good books out there!!!! There are sooo many! If you have a different list-post it please! I for one need recommendations for good books to read myself, and for my children. Classics are a great start and stand the test of time, but again-there are many, and we all have different tastes. Thanks for taking the time to compile and place your list on the web!

Your opinion that no "not one of these books would ever be chosen by any right minded person as a ‘good read’ except some anal retentive book fetishist who has snobbish pretensions" is largely insulting to one such as myself as I do consider myself to be right minded and am in no way aware that I am an anal retentive book fetishist or hold snobbish pretensions. Let it be known that I am 16 years old and from New Zealand. If a teenager from down under can take the time to read these books (and enjoy them) how can the list be "a list of books designed to turn people off reading"? - Samantha. @Milander
