What’s the Best Book of the Past 125 Years? We Asked Readers to Decide.
Given by New York Times
11 Works 360,685 Books 5,867 Reviews 4.3
A list from the New York Times. Here's the description from the website:
In October, as we marked the Book Review’s 125th anniversary, we invited readers to nominate the best book published
show more during that time. This was a nod to our history: In its first few decades, the Book Review often asked readers to anoint the best books, the best short stories, the best poems. We wanted this project, like those early ones, to reflect readers’ tastes and preferences.Responses began pouring in from all 50 states and 67 countries. In November, we presented a list of the 25 most-nominated books (one per author) for a vote. There were more than 200,000 ballots.
