My contribution to the #7books lists:
The Canterbury Tales by #GeoffreyChaucer. The Essays by #MicheldeMontaigne. Emma by #JaneAusten. Bleak House by #CharlesDickens. Middlemarch by #GeorgeEliot. Nostromo by #JosephConrad. The Complete Short Stories by #AliceMunro. I know the last one is a cheat - but I can dream.
