I've read a number of them - I bolded the ones I've read. To be honest, I've never even heard of some of the others!
There are other lists out there that include some of the same titles.
I'll use this one as a guide. I've already got some goals for this year - I'm currently rereading The Lord of the Rings, for example. But now that I've read all the Father Brown mysteries, the Lord Peter Wimsey novels of Dorothy Sayers, and the Navajo mysteries of Tony Hillerman, I might tackle this list. I'd also like to find more of the Cadfael mysteries of Ellis Peters.
Goals for next year?
Pax et bonum
