Om migIn 1998 The Modern Library notoriously ranked the top 100 English-language novels of the 20th century, immediately earning critical scorn yet forever influencing book-buying patterns (ex. “Customers who purchased Zuleika Dobson also purchased A High Wind in Jamaica").
At that time this amateur reader was dismayed to have tackled only a quarter of these novels. Moreover, I’d never heard of a substantial number of the titles or authors. Consequently, I accepted this list as a challenge, a mental marathon—perhaps best titled a “centathlon.”
I've been stumbling over the years, stopping often to massage cramps, gulp from sloshing plastic cups of water, and sip from brimming cocktail glasses of Manhattans with a twist (don't like cherries). This is exuberant, sweaty, grimy dilettantism—you wanna make sumthin of it? Let’s hope so!
