Re: Seeking input on "top 100" collection

I did a similar exercise some years ago.  Below find the "obvious" items on
my list which are not on your list for you to consider.  I have not filtered
out on "English Only" -- which I think is a bad idea -- I think well-known
translations need to be included.  These are all on PG but have not
otherwise been checked for more detailed copyright issues.  Where I have
only included an author name it is because I would not pretend to be able to
guess which (only) of that author's works to include. As always, the
unfortunate reality is that this list of the "Best of the Best" also
includes many of PG's worst transcribed, and worst html/epub efforts.
Cheers.
