Beautifully Written Books to Get Lost In - Page 3

Sometimes we forget how important good writing can be to the art of story telling. Here are 100 modern , post-modern, and contemporary works which contain beautiful prose styles that inform, enhance, and elevate the reading experience. I have limited the list to works written in English; translation can only approximate the prose styles of writers in other languages. Much as I love "The Name of the Rose", for example, I do not read Italian, so I don't know how much of what I read is actually Umberto Eco and how much is the translator William Weaver.
