I've not read the vast majority of the supposed 100 best novels recommended by Modern Library.
I think it is unconscionable that Twain is not on that list.
I started reading Portrait of a Young Artist by Joyce. I really, really tried to like it. But finally I gave in to the overwhelming impression that it was pretentious bullshit.

Why do people like Joyce?
I have not finished a single work authored by him. It must be my low brow sense of art as his style grates on me.
I've read more of the Readers' Choices than the Board's Choices.
