I'm not convinced The Magic Mountain is the upper classes, the way these other novels are.

The novel is set in a sanitarium atop the Swiss Alps inhabited by the extremely wealthy but I defer to your perspective.
Where on the list is it, Richard? (Makes it easier to remove.)

Thanks very much, Richard.

But the title says 'Upper Classes, so I guess it's alright...? Lobstergirl, you are the creator of this list, so you have the final word on this, as far as I'm concerned...
I'm not sure, but I think the British 'upper class' is mixed with the British 'upper middle-class' (and there is a difference...)
