This challenge is the 3rd of a series of 4 which highlight critically acclaimed books both historical and modern. It is derived from the latest version of "The Short List" at the "GreaterBooks.com" website. "The Short List" only features books that appear on at least 5 out of 47 source lists.
The books in each challenge are in descending order based on the number of source lists in which they appear. For example, books 61-76 are each on 5 source lists, while the top book ("Don Quixote") is on 37 source lists.
The challenges are in reverse chronological order:
* 1900 to Present
* 1650 to 1900 (available at the link)
* 700 to 1650
* Prehistory to 700 A.D.
