Recs if you like Michael Kohlhaas...

This is the compendium of books from the 2012 edition.

A simple reading through the decades (1807-1997) challenge focused on deeply flawed characters and societal critiques with a few slight thematic depatures to keep things fresh because that's how I like to read. Some decades are repesented more heavily than others. I put this together in an attempt to make myself a more widely-read person. Suggestions welcome!
