20 great books to read

Some days ago I found an interesting list by The Guardian, which comprised the 100 Best Books of All Time according to many critics. Of course the "all time" is still going on, but it's anyway a great list with writers from almost everywhere in the world. I chose 20 books out of their whole list.

In some cases I couldn't find a book for the autor (the case of Casares), I researched in the web for a book considered good by other critics different from those I cited above. In alphabetical order the outcome of my research:
