Anna Sewell was born and raised in the seaside town of Great Yarmouth in eastern England and her house still stands today, I know this cause I live close to the town.

I have to disagree with Oscar Wilde being on this list. He wrote quite a few note-worthy pieces. For example: The Importance of Being Earnest, An Ideal Husband, The Canterville Ghost and The Picture of Dorian Gray. And this is only a fraction of the numerous contributions he made to the literary and theatrical world.

and you sound utterly pretentious, and since you don’t have a classic best seller, I’m going to say Harper Lee comes out the winner on this one

Its anti racism, not anti southern. I’m a southern girl and found no offense what so ever.

Disagree with Oscar Wilde. The Importance of Being Earnest is still a very popular play performed to this day, is often required reading in literature classes, and was even a movie recently with Reese Witherspoon.

the invisible man by ralph ellison. it really is a great book, summing up that a man (i.e. the maincharacter is a man) is invisible because people can never see past his race, his background, their own interests, etc.
ellison never published another one, possibly agonizing that the second novel would never live up to the awesomeness that was invisible man. his second novel ‘juneteenth’ was published after his death.
have read invisible man, but havent read juneteenth so i can’t say if he worried and agonized over nothing.

I think you overlooked Invisible Man. Ellison had writers block for the rest of his life after.

I think a few of these titles (To Kill A Mockingbird, Picture of Dorian Gray) belong on the Top 10 Most Overrated Books list.
