The Brothers Karamazov
Dostoevsky's final and greatest novel. Three brothers -- sensual Dmitri, rational Ivan, saintly Alyosha -- collide around the murder of their father in a book that contains the most profound debate between faith and doubt in all of literature. Sigmund Freud called it the greatest novel ever written.

War and Peace
The greatest novel ever written, according to many. Five aristocratic families navigate Napoleon's invasion of Russia across 1,500 pages that encompass love, death, history, and the nature of human agency. Tolstoy's argument that history is made by millions of small human acts, not by great men, has never been bettered.

The Odyssey
Odysseus's ten-year journey home from Troy -- a story of cunning, endurance, loyalty, and the meaning of home. The original adventure narrative and one of the most influential stories ever told, still the richest account of what it means to find your way back to who you are.

The Lord of the Rings
The defining work of modern fantasy literature. Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship of the Ring journey to destroy the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom. Tolkien built a complete world -- languages, histories, mythologies -- and created the template for virtually every epic fantasy that followed.

Pride and Prejudice
The most beloved novel in the English language. Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy must overcome their own worst instincts -- her prejudice, his pride -- to find each other. Austen's wit, psychological precision, and satirical portrait of class and marriage have never been surpassed.

Zorro
Allende's exuberant origin story of the masked hero Zorro, tracing Diego de la Vega from his childhood in colonial California through his education in Spain and his transformation into a champion of the oppressed. A swashbuckling adventure infused with magic realism and Latin American history.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Forty-two. Arthur Dent is swept off Earth moments before it is demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass, beginning the most absurdist and philosophically rich comedy in the sci-fi canon. Adams' satire of bureaucracy, technology, and the search for meaning has never been funnier or truer.

The Pillars of the Earth
The story of the building of a cathedral in 12th-century England, spanning decades and generations of builders, monks, lords, and queens. Follett's masterpiece is one of the great page-turning historical novels -- a portrait of ambition, faith, brutality, and beauty that never lets go.
