It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Who is the author with more works in the Guardian’s list of 100 greatest novels of all time?

The Guardian made a list of the 100 greatest novels of all time. You can see the list here, with links to how Guardian’s made it. First place of the list is George Eliot with Middlemarch, but I thought to check which authors had more works in this list. And it’s Virginia Woolf with five books!

Second place in the number of the novels in the list are Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, both with four books.

Best part? There all in public domain, so you want to start with any of these four authors, right here, right now, head to Project Gutenberg and let’s read!

Questa montagna è tale,
Che sempre al cominciar di sotto è grave,
E quanto uom più va su e men fa male.
– DANTE: Il Purgatorio

Purgatorio, IV. 88–90: ‘This mountain is so formed that it is always wearisome when one begins the ascent, but becomes easier the higher one climbs.'

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) - Illustration by Gustave Dore (1832-1883))

Methinks the Saturday before October begins is the perfect time to rewatch Shipwrecked’s “Edgar Allan Poe's Murder Mystery Dinner Party.” 🐦‍⬛ 💀
