I thought about chatting about the Guardian 100 best novels of all time list https://www.theguardian.com/books/ng-interactive/2026/may/12/the-100-best-novels-of-all-time, because this used to be a fun way to have conversations about books & "classics" in particular (& I very often like "classics").
But instead, I'm annoyed that it's once again so anglo-centric and I don't want to talk about books written in English.
So: tell me about books that should be on this list thay weren't originally written in English!
