The Great American Novels of the Last 100 Years - Page 4

This list is in response to The Atlantic's recent list of their Great American Novels. I've already published a list of what I believe the Great American Novels are, but with no time limit. This list follows The Atlantic's criteria that the books must have been published within the last 100 years. I have 136 novels in this list, just like The Atlantic's list, but the one rule I imposed on myself, which The Atlantic didn't, is to allow an author only one entry on the list. I'm sure many will disagree with some of my choices, but that's the great thing about reading. Enjoy!
