I don't recall the Da Vinci Code being classified as an important literary work before.

I think that the extraordinary success of that book legitimates its presence in this list as one of the milestones of the contemporary american narration.

26 classics and one popular, yet shockingly poorly written blockbuster.

Steinbeck wrote "Tortilla Flat." I don't think there's a book by him titled "Tortilla Plan." Please check on this.

It's also William Faulkner, not Paul Faulkner who wrote "Sartoris."
