The Greatest Books of All Time, Part II, According to Thegreatestbooks.Org

Due to the list site's algorithm, the list is a constantly moving target, & since I published the Mar2024 list, 11 book titles dropped from the top 150, and therefore, a different 11 are now in the top 150, starting with 'A Farewell to Arms' by Hemingway, which is at #107 on the site list & now starts this Part II list. The highest entry that dropped off the top 150 from my last version is 'The Complete Stories of Franz Kafka,' which was at #106. So this LC Part II list basically starts after the 1st 50 but does not of course include titles from the Part I list (even though the order changed). The "new" 11 titles that weren't in the Part I list start off this list. Biggest drop: 'White Teeth' from #126 to #255.
"This list represents a comprehensive & trusted collection of the greatest books in literature. Developed through a specialized algorithm, it brings together 251 'best of' book lists to form a definitive guide to the world's most acclaimed literary works." - thegreatestbooks.org
