Best Single Novels & Multi-Volume Novels

This is a companion to my earlier challenge "100 Best English-Language Novels of the 20th Century". Click on the link to go to that list. There are 3 separate lists in this challenge, with the items of the first two in descending rank order. The third list is ordered alphabetically by author.
The Ten Greatest Novels of the 20th Century: 1-10
The Ten Greatest Novels of All Time: 11-20
Best Multi-Volume Novels : 21-28
BTW, "Ulysses" & "In Search of Lost Time" appear in 2 of the lists, so easy extra point(s) if you have read either (frankly you deserve them).
