List made by A. Sapkowski ( I swear, I should get some royalties for promoting this guy, or rather stuffing him down you throates. If you fill that way, I do apologize). This list comprises of all the titles Sapkowski thought of as canon to the literature and a must-read for all fantasy fans. What do you think? Would you throw out something? Add something else?
Presently I am striving to achieve the goal of reading every single book from this list. I've read a couple of them, but I'm far from being done.
