Markd9528's Favourite Novels: But Are They Really Novels?

One of the more popular challenge styles is a list of favourite novels. In fact at time of publishing the leader on the 'Trending Books List' is a challenge named as such. This despite the fact that many of its works are not even novels, as has been clearly pointed out by others.
So in publishing this challenge, I would also like to know if I'm correct in regarding these works as novels. I'm most anxious about whether some should only be regarded as novellas. Feel free to point out errors on my part.
RULES: Maximum of 2 novels per author.
Within minutes of publishing, I've realised I've misclassified an Australian work. See if you can figure out which one it is. So much fun!
