I like you, OP. I like this list too. It feels like there’s a weird throughline connecting them all but I can’t explain what it is. Maybe innovative genre-bending encyclopaedic literature is the closest way of describing it. Or works that defined their time (although maybe Rabelais was a bit too ahead of his?)
