This challenge is the last 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 59-81 are each on 5 source lists, while the top book ("The Odyssey") is on 36 source lists.
I have published the challenges in reverse chronological order:
* 1900 to Present
* 1650 to 1900
* 700 to 1650 (available at the link)
* Prehistory to 700 A.D.
