Read my Blog Tom Moran's Best 100 Novels of the 20th Century (in English) Who is Tom Moran? I have no idea. I found this list and it looked intriguing. I think he's a writer in New York, but you'll have to dig around yourself for that info. I liked his list and his rational for choosing the books. If you want more info, look at Tom Moran's site Tom's Notes on the other lists: There are certain common flaws to many of the novel lists that have been floating around the Internet in the past year or so 1) They are all bottom-heavy, relying too much on novels published fairly recently (this being defined as post-1960), since those are the novels that people are most familiar with. 2) They don't have enough women writers on them. 3) The lists mostly share an Anglo-American bias: that is, they don't have enough writers on them from other predominantly Anglophone countries countries like Canada, Australia, India or South Africa, to name just a few . 4) The Modern Library list is weighted towards novels read by people who came of age in the Great Depression, and slights both the pre-1920 period | |
