I have a vague understanding of what based means and I would say several of those books are not. The two that stick out the most would be Old man and the sea and Animal farm.

Take off Dickens and Hardy and Austen. Haven't read Webb or Priestley ones so I can't judge. There are better Steinbeck and Greene books but those are still pretty based.

No one has, honestly.
