and The Hundred Best Lists of All Time

Followed a link from your link to The Modern Library's list of 100 Best Novels just to see how many of them I have read. Pleasantly surprised that I knew most but definitely not all.

I like that they showed their Top 100 side by side with their readers' Top 100. Their readers' top ten were not surprising individually but collectively kind of alarming. Yikes!

ATLAS SHRUGGEDby Ayn Rand
THE FOUNTAINHEADby Ayn Rand
BATTLEFIELD EARTHby L. Ron Hubbard
THE LORD OF THE RINGSby J.R.R. Tolkien
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRDby Harper Lee
1984by George Orwell
ANTHEMby Ayn Rand
WE THE LIVINGby Ayn Rand
MISSION EARTHby L. Ron Hubbard
FEARby L. Ron Hubbard

Thanks, I guess.
