The New York Times' 10 Best Books Through Time - Page 4

Each fall, the editors of the Times Book Review select the best fiction and nonfiction titles of the year. Our editors read, nominate, discuss, and debate the merits of each year's books, working together to land upon our list. The practice of editors sharing their picks of the year dates nearly back to the beginning of the Book Review in October 1896. But over the years, that list has taken many different names and forms. Now, we call this list the "Ten Best Books" and have done so since 2004. We hope you'll enjoy, and perhaps find inspiration in, the Best Books of years past.
