Two titles to make the list (as reported by the Times):
MOONRAKER by Ian FlemingRead more about Faulks' list.
Early Bond. He doesn't sleep with the girl and the big dénouement is in Kent. It breaks all the rules and it really only has three scenes. But what good scenes they are.
LOLITA by Vladimir Nabokov
Ludic, dandified, euphuistic - and then some. Nabokov's most story-driven book. The hero in the end is not H.H., Lolita or moral ambivalence, but Style.
--Marshal Zeringue
