Goodreads Popular Literary Fiction Books

A compelling mix of classics and modern works. A companion challenge is now available by clicking on the link.
The rankings are in descending order of times shelved as literary-fiction on Goodreads, whatever that means. (If I did know, I might understand how 'Red Russia' got so high up the list. Someone to explain briefly in the Comments?)
