The Greatest Classics -- Can You Guess the Works On the Vintage List?

Which classics are notable to be on a list of the top 100? And, then, which books should be considered of merit, of such quality or substance that they should be remembered and read 100 years from now?

In an article for The Guardian, Alan Warner discusses classics, masterpieces, and the making of a great work of literature. Who really decides whether a book is worthy of our reading, after all? He says: "This corralling of literature is firmly to do with exclusion, with stemming and denying the vast, pressing tide of world literature out there, around us every day, demanding our time if we really are interested."
