Good source list - nice to see the Calvino, Perec, Powell, Eco, Sebald and Bolano picks, none of whom typically appear on these kinds of lists. Please accept as alternates "100 Years of Solitude", "Alice in Wonderland", "Huckleberry Finn", "Rabbit Run" (the first of the Rabbit books) and "Doctor Zhivago".

Also "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", please. Also, the last word in the Calvino title is typically spelled "traveler" with one "l". I think both are technically correct, so please accept both.
