Tokien on top? And Orwell? But these are SO unreadable!

I have only read 26 (8 in the top 20)of these books and about 19 of the authors but to make a list of the 100 greatest books of all time and not have even one single book from the funniest man ever to put pen to paper or finger to typewriter key as the case may be is absurd he wrote 90 of the funniest novels of all time and the fact that AA Milne on the list would have made Wodehouse roll in his grave if he was on a list with Milne's nauseous productions and for my money he should have been on there at least 8 times out of the 26 I have read and I loved most of them not 1 of them stands even close to Right ho Jeeves or The Mating season or for that matter The code of the Woosters any novel with Jeeves and Bertie Wooster could have easily been firmly in the top ten there has never been and there will never be another with the quick wit and the ability to weave such tight knots seemingly jammed only to have Jeeves untangle the knots with a flick of the wrist not to mention Meet mr Muliner, Ukridge, Psmith, the oldest member, and the cast of Blandings castle yet not one single P.G. Wodehouse novel in the top 100 well I guess a books a book for are that

for a different take on this question, check out 100 Authors With Highest Average Rating.

It would be helpful if we voted on this list only for the most obvious book by author. I would suggest this be the one with the most ratings.
- So for Tolkien this is The Hobbit.
- For Orwell this is 1984.
- For Verne this is Around the World in 80 Days.
- For Kafka this is The Metamorphoses
- For Shakespeare this is Romeo and Juliet
