About this list
Tidningen Boken, 100 Books
Världsbiblioteket (The World Library) was a Swedish list of the 100 best books in the world, made in 1991 by the Swedish literary magazine Tidningen Boken. The list was compiled through votes from members of the Svenska Akademien, Swedish Crime Writers' Academy, librarian, authors and others. Approximately 30 of the books were Swedish.
There's not an exact count of the number of contributors or voters, research has shown that there were at least 250 voters.
This list was originally published in 1991 and was added to this site almost 12 years ago.
