About this list
Reader's Digest, 100 Books
Reader's Digest has created a list of greatest books of all time. Their website says:
To land in the top 100, a book needed to truly stand out in the stacks. We considered best sellers, award winners, and books that are highly rated by readers and critics alike. Many have been made into blockbuster movies. (Make sure to check out these exciting book to movie adaptations coming out this year!) Going on, many are taught in schools today. Many have snagged spots on other “best of” lists published by the likes of the New York Times, The Guardian, NPR, PBS, Time magazine, and more. And most have had profound impacts on literature, culture, or the world in general.
Reader's Digest mentions that the list is updated periodically by writers specialize in book content. Book selections are made by editors at Reader's Digest.
No voters are named. The article is written by Leandra Beabout, who i am going to assume is the 1 voter.
A former English teacher, Leandra writes about books and lifestyle for Reader's Digest. She also has bylines in the Guardian, the Telegraph and The Healthy. Leandra splits her time between the U.S. and India, where she and her husband currently live in the lower Himalayas.
This list was originally published in 2022 and was added to this site over 2 years ago.
