The Modern Library's 100 Best Novels: The Readers' List
This is one of the 759 lists we use to generate our main The Greatest Books list.
About this list
The Modern Library, 100 Books
The goal of the "100 Best" project was to get people talking about great books. We succeeded beyond our wildest imaginings — more than 400,000 avid readers rushed online to cast votes for their favorite books.
The readers' poll for the best novels published in the English language since 1900 opened on July 20, 1998 and closed on October 20, 1998, with 217,520 votes cast.
This list was originally published in 1998 and was added to this site over 1 year ago.
