Authors G-L From 100 Must-Read Classic Novels (Plus 112 Recommended Extras)

This is the 2nd episode of my 3-part mini-series based on 100 Must-Read Classic Novels (Nick Rennison, 2006). This episode covers 29 of the 'must-read' novels & 112 extra suggestions.
Novels on Rennison's Must-Read list are indicated by a monochrome author image, which is titled with the novel's name & the author's name and country of residence. This is followed by several works in a similar vein by the same or different authors, as recommended by Rennison (so you can explore your favourite styles of writing or subject matter).
This is a much expanded version of the list published by fleurette but differs from my 'Books on a Theme From "100 Must-Read Classic Novels"'.
