A Century of Beloved Books - Page 2

This is a fun one: For the collection below, Goodreads editors decided to take a long-arc overview and tried to identify the most popular books published over the past 100 years, as determined by Goodreads members' digital shelves. To do this, they went year by year and picked one title from among the top of each pile.
It just goes to show, once again, that Goodreads members are interesting, widely read, devastatingly good-looking people.
