How many have you read? I've read 10 -- well, I haven't read all of the Oxford Book of English Verse, but that's not really a novel. "Far Away and Long Ago" is one of my favorites. It's not a novel, either, but a memoir.
Ya know...this basically looks like a high school reading list. There's really nothing unusual about the choices, especially considering when the list was written: Somerset Maugham, Thomas Mann, James Joyce and ee cummings were all contemporary, well-known authors, and the rest were not that far in the past.
