The Great English-Language Novels of the Past 100 Years - Page 3

This list is inspired by The Atlantic's 2024 list of their Great American Novels. I've already published lists in response to that and of what I believe the great English-language novels are, but with no time limit. This list, however, 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 (which is fine - to each their own), is to allow an author only one entry on the list. Enjoy...
