-I haven't included any I may have watched in cartoon, live action or film form, any I've read in a condensed version in this wonderful book my father has (101 classics to read on the loo. It got my interest in Paradise Lost!) or any I've read in child-book format (Gulliver's Travels), or even any I know the story of just because I know the story, if that makes sense? All those just mentioned are denoted by a star. I'm not tagging this post, since there's over 50 authors mentioned!
