Overlap of 3 Mega Book Lists (Boxall, Mustich and Guardian) - Page 2

I've decided to see what the three major lists of literary inspiration agree on as in fact "must read". Distilling the list of over 3000+ books down to just 160 as an overlap between Boxall, Mustich and Guardian lists of fiction. I cannot guarantee 100% accuracy as I may have overlooked a few things in the process of cross referencing, but I am quite sure this is close enough.
