Personally, I would add Frankenstein to the list. Dr Frankenstein demonstrates how we sometimes get caught up in the idea that we can do something but without looking at the bigger picture and asking the question 'should I do it?' It's not until shortly after that he realizes that he has created something that is destructive. In the end it had destroyed everything in his life. It reminds us to stop and think before we do.

Rhonda Ray, Frankenstein is a good concept, but it reads like it was written by a 19 year old girl.

I would recommend Anna Karenina. I. Believe this book shows the reality of life for many people in this world. It is truly a tragic story, where Anna is caught between a lifeless marriage and her passion for her young lover. Tolstoy had deep insight when he wrote this book.

The only reason I watched the second part was to find out if the great Marcel Proust has managed to find his way to your list.... But no. I guess this epic masterpiece, "In search of lost time", is not as "classic" as some of those (32!) books...Not to mention that almost the 3/4 are written by American and English authors.

As always, ANY book list is subjective, because somebody will always believe something else shoulda been added. Sure, it's good to read the classics so you'll know the references folk seem to be talking about all the time, but some of these classics are over-rated. If YOU like it, it's good, because only YOU know what YOU like.

BTW I read the Giver and The Outsiders in 7th grade, they were crap back then and still are.

No. Yes they are good reads but THE BEST 15 of all time? Yikes. You need to do a much deeper dive than this. Crime and Punishment? Yes definitely. Perhaps War and Peace. What about Macheavelli? What about St. Augustines Confessions? The City of God? Don Quixote? Pilgrims Progress? Dickens books? Hawthorne? Beckett? Mark Twain? Sun Tzu? Read more books and try again....

It is amazing now that the extreme right is burning books, promoting fear and ignorance that books are becoming essential to the survival of the culture. We need to promote critical thinking and imagination, otherwise, civilization will be destroyed by fanatics. I love crime and punishment because allowed me to enter the field of clinical psychology and learn that everyone has a dark side and the potential to become a monster or a savior. Before Freud and Jung, this novel advanced the study of the mind.
