People need to know this is basically a list of prose novels.
I realize that Ovid and perhaps a handful of others on the list wrote in verse. I don't know why the list compiler chose to include Ovid and not Homer, but there you go. In any list, there are contradictions.
Why leave out George Bernard Shaw?
Apparently, Shaw was omitted because drama was omitted.
Shaw wrote plays. Note the absence of Shakespeare, O'Neill, Ibsen, Tennessee Williams, Durrenmatt, and other major dramatists.
