In 2007 an internet-based poll resulted in a top 10 of most popular Dutch books "of all times". It gives a good snapshot of popular books and I decided to read all the books on the list.

On this page I maintain an overview of them, with a link to a short review for the ones that I've read.

1. Harry Mulisch, De ontdekking van de hemel (1992)
2. Kader Abdolah, Het huis van de moskee (2019)
3. Multatuli, Max Havelaar (didn't finish it)
4. J. Bernlef, Hersenschimmen (November 2012)
5. W.F. Hermans, De donkere kamer van Damokles (November 2012)
6. W.F. Hermans, Nooit meer slapen (December 2012)
7. J.J. Voskuil, Het bureau (November 2012)
