Sorry, I'm intervening your conversation, but that's so true about the "compiled by Brits".

It's not the only literature (or good literature) and English isn't the only language that one can use well while writing. ;) And if War and Peace is the only (or almost so) nonoriniginallyinEnglish book that is on the list, so...
