All-TIME 100 Greatest Novels

The All-TIME 100 Greatest Novels was a list of the "100 best English language novels from 1923 to the present" as picked by Time critics Lev Grossman and Richard Lacayo. It was published in Time magazine in 2006. To qualify for the list books must have been in English and published since 1923 (the year that TIME Magazine was first published). Novels published before 1923 and foreign-language novels were left out, in what many might consider a highly questionable survey, disqualifying such acknowledged great books as War and Peace, Moby Dick, Ulysses, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Don Quixote. The List Novels on the list span a period of over 80 years, starting with E. M. Forster's A Passage to India (1924) and finishing with Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go (2005). The 1960s is the best-represented decade. The list includes some novel series as single entries; Watchmen by Alan Moore, originally published as a twelve-issue comic book limited series; Anthony Powell's twelve-volume cycle of novels A Dance to the Music of Time; and The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, which has been published as three volumes. Authors with two novels on the list are Evelyn Waugh, George Orwell, Graham Greene, Philip Roth, Saul Bellow, Thomas Pynchon, Virginia Woolf, Vladimir Nabokov, and William Faulkner. See Also
