End of Year TOP TEN Novel Round-Up!

The end of the year generally causes a great deal of lists: lists of the best songs, or movies, or perhaps books of the year. Random house has taken this a step further by creating several BEST BOOKS list of ALL TIME lists, by category, which I hope includes 2008. It's at the following link: http://www.randomhouse.com/modernlibrary/100bestnovels.html

While I have read a few of the list-worthy ones (and have a few on the back-burner as well!)
I am curious as to what librarians would choose as their "top ten" books of all time, since ther is just not enough time for a top 100.

***So I pose the question: What are our Librarian's top ten list of Best Books of ALL TIME? Tell me People!!!!
