I find it odd that Don Quixote - Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra isn't on the original list. I've read that too. I've read 21 of them, plus parts of three others on the list, plus one for Don Quixote.

Does it seem odd to anyone that there is a listing for "Hamlet" separately from Shakespeare's complete works, and listing for "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" separately from Chronicles of Narnia?
