Paul's All-Time Favourite Fiction

A very personal list of 100 of my all-time favourite fiction over a lifetime of reading. I could go on longer but I decided to try to keep the list to a nice round number. Some of these "thrillers" date back almost 50 years but I believe they've aged well and still have something useful to say to modern society.
