100 Novels Everyone Should Read

Changes from the previous version of the article are highlighted with a ~~red background for deletions~~, and a green background for insertions.

Summary

Based on the Telegraph article, telegraph.co.uk ,and Fetch and McGoohan's blogs, here is the list. Please append with your read, dnf, recommend, recommend-you-avoid comments. I reckon you could create a list of at least another 100 books of equal merit, so any other must- read recommendations?
