10 Fantastic Books With Anonymous Narrators

"One of the things I absolutely love is a character with a great name. In fact, a question authors get asked quite often is how they name their characters. When the main character has a great name, it tends to draw the reader in. But if names set up the tone of the character's journey, so what does it mean when they have no name?
Sometimes I'll be reading and realize I don't remember the name of a character and have to go searching. Every once in a while though I'll realize that I don't know the name because there isn't one. At least not one the author chose to share. I've found that the lack of a name can be a very powerful tool. Often the lack of a name becomes a plot device or purposely gives the book an unsettled or mysterious tone.
I have since fallen in love with books with anonymous narrators, our unnamed main characters. While there are so many great ones out there, here is a list of ten books with an anonymous narrators."
