in no order numbers to keep me on track. I made a rule one book per author and kept myself to fiction.

1. Street of Crocodiles - Bruno Schulz 2. The Aleph and other stories - Joge Luis Borges 3. The Man Who Was Thursday - G.K. Chesterton 4. Candide - Voltaire 5. Cain - Jose Saramago 6. Nine Humorous Tales - Anton Chekov 7. The Patricide Club - Ambrose Bierce 8. The Cyberiad - Stanislaw Lem 9. The First and Last men - Olaf Stapledon 10. Midnights Children- Salman Rusdie

Honorable Mentions The Stranger - Camus, Narcissus , Goldmund - Hess Droll Stories- Balzac.

I just noticed you only asked for 5 so I apologize but do not correct.
