Good American Novels: # 101-200 on Goodreads' "Great American Novel" List. - Page 2

Here are the Pulitzer finalists, the experimental fiction, the Penguin Modern Classics, the detective novels and other books you've most likely heard of but were never assigned in a high school English class. Would American teens be better served by trading "The Great Gatsby" for "Last Exit to Brooklyn?" Well, book reports would be a lot more interesting, at least.
