Part TWO: Our Readable Century - A Compendium of Memorable Books
show list info
Part TWO (Part ONE also online at "https://www.listchallenges.com/our-readable-century-a-compendium-of-memorable" OR checkout my published lists).
Literary publication January Magazine polled their favourite authors, editors & contributors for their favourite works of 20th century fiction & non-fiction. It was keen 'on taking the emotional pulse of our respondents, trying to determine which volumes had struck personal chords or somehow influenced the behaviour of these ardent readers'. I recommend checking out the website as most participants give reasons for their choices.
Give yourself an extra point if you have read all of the 'Berlin Noir' trilogy (March Violets, German Requiem & The Pale Criminal) or Snopes (The Hamlet, The Town, The Mansion).
This is a much richer version of the list presented on thegreatestbooks.org. In this part, fiction is in Slots 1-95 & non-fiction in Slots 96-120.
