Not to mention the overall anglo-centrism of the list. Anyone who studied comp lit instead of literature will be mostly left out by this list, though they might be very well-read in the languages they compared with. Other than a couple of French novels that are embedded in English culture via popular media, and a couple of Tolstoy books, it's entirely lit that was first written in English. Oh, and Dante's Inferno.
