Kappa's Favorite Long Form Fiction

My 50 favorite works of long form fiction, which I decided meant prose or narrative poetry longer than a short story. That excluded plays and short story collections as well. I also limited myself to a maximum of two entries per author to keep the list a little more varied. I know I will kick myself for missing a beloved book as soon as I post this list, but each of these books made me laugh, cry, and/or look at the world in a new light.
