I find trying to rank books in a particular order to be more trouble than it's probably worth. So a list in no particular order.
The Collected Short Stories of Eudora Welty - Eudora Welty
The Hobbit- J.R.R. Tolkien
All the King's Men - Robert Penn Warren
Absalom, Absalom - William Faulkner
The Long Goodbye ( and the 6 other Philip Marlowe books) - Raymond Chandler
The Dain Curse ( and also Red Harvest, The Glass Key, The Maltese Falcon) - Dashiell Hammett
A Distant Mirror - Barbara Tuchman
The Face of Battle- John Keegan
City - Clifford Simak
Cien Anos de Soledad - Gabriel Garcia Marquez ( I read it in the orginal Spanish, so I'm listing the Spanish title. Otherwise it is "100 years of Solitude.")
It is interesting to see which books appear repeatedly.
