I stumbled upon an article on Flavorwire about thetop 50 works of fiction that have been translated into English that should be read.
This list fits right into my plans to read the classics so it only seems fitting to track my progress against the suggestions found here.
I have gotten off to a slow start in the five year span of October 2012 to September 2017. I think I will shoot to wrap up 30 of these over the five-years.
