Unfortunately, I've only read two from the list: Buddenbrooks and Call of the Wild. I really enjoyed Thomas Mann's classic, but I thought Call of the Wild was marvellous and was on my list for this decade.
I really wish I had read more from the list though. The Getting of Wisdom has been on my TBR pile for a while now. And some of these: Conrad, James, Forster, could well fit into my "books I must read before I cark it" list. So I'll be voting without the benefit of reading some of these classics - but that's going to be the case all the way through the century I'm afraid.
