De vuuraanbidders, De wiskunstenaars, De oostakkerse gedichten en een Statenvertaling van de Bijbel heb ik voor je toegevoegd. De andere titels staan (nog) niet op Goodreads.

@Gitta

Je noemt no. 60 Anton Wachter-Cyclus (ik heb alleen gehoord van Terug tot Ina Damman) en voor zover ik heb kunnen nagaan zijn het in totaal acht delen, te weten:

Sint Sebastiaan (1939)
Surrogaten Voor Murk Tuinstra (1948)
Terug tot Ina Damman (1934)
De andere school (1949)
De beker van de min (1956)
De vrije vogel en zijn kooien (1957)
De rimpels van Esther Ornstein (1959)
De laatste kans (1960)

Ik heb de ontbrekende titels voor je toegevoegd (alleen Terug tot Ina Damman stond er al op), dus de Anton Wachter cyclus kan van je lijst :-)

Je hebt helemaal gelijk. Ik zal eens kijken of die lijst zich makkelijk laat kopiëren/toevoegen :-)

Zag op de Wikipedia pagina dat er sinds 2015 nu ook een Vlaams-Nederlands Canon is. Hiervoor ga ik een aparte lijst maken en de link toevoegen aan de beschrijving van deze lijst en visa versa.
