The Great Asian Novels - Page 2

This list is inspired by The Atlantic's recent list of their Great American Novels. For this list, I'm not abiding by The Atlantic's strict rule that all books must be published within the last 100 years (too many great novels would be left out) and thus have no time limit on their publication. I have 136 novels, just like The Atlantic's list, and I've tried to include novels from every Asian country, spreading from Indonesia to the Middle East. I'm sure many will disagree with some of my choices, but that's what we love about reading. Enjoy!
