Markd9528's Compendium of World Literature

This is a collection of books from around the planet, which were mostly sourced from challenges with "World" and "Literature" in their title (see below). Never fear, there are still lots of your favourites from England & North America.
For non-English originals, I have used, with very few exceptions, the title of the English translation.
