What are your favorite novels? This is not meant to be an argument about which modern novels are the best from a literary standpoint. Just discuss which novels you have most enjoyed reading and tend to revisit again and again, as if they were old friends. Hopefully, we can be international enough that they don't all have to be European, unless all the novels you've read and liked happened to all be European.
Here's my list.

Surfacing by Margaret Atwood
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin
Fifth Business by Robertson Davies
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
The Mill on the Floss by George Elliot
Dead Souls by Nicholas Gogal
