Ideal Bookshelf

I'm trying to decide what 20 books would be on my ideal bookshelf, and i'm having a hard time...

these two bookshelves are pretty close to what i like...

I know Harry Potter is on my bookshelf (definitely in my bucket)

but if i chose all 7 of them i would only have 13 more to go... 

so i am "working" on it...

so far: 

Harry Potter 

J.K Rowling 

****

Momo

 Die Unendliche Geschichte (the never ending story)

 by Michael Ende

****

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator

Boy 

Going solo

The Witches

by Roald Dahl

****

Märchen der Brüder Grimm

(the 1937 edition)

****

Green Eggs and Ham

Dr Seus

****

The Very Hungry Caterpillar 

Eric Carle

****

Pride and Prejudice

Persuasion

Jane Austen

****


Der kleine Vampir
Angela Sommer-Bodenburg

These would be the first i can think of, and probably  my all-time favorites... i am sure i am missing tons of other books i love...

i should maybe try to separate my first books (all of these except for Jane Austen and Harry Potter ...) and my later books, or by decade... but so far, i would pick these as my all-time favorites, after all they are the first to come to my mind... and i would (and have) re-read them over and over again...

What 20 books would be on your bookshelf?
