A Dance to the Music of Time – Anthony Powell.The Confessions of Nat Turner – William Styron.The Bridge of San Luis Rey – Thornton Wilder.The Berlin Stories – Christopher Isherwood.Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret – Judy Blume.All the King’s Men – Robert Penn Warren.The Adventures of Augie March – Saul Bellow.I’ve slipped the list into the pages at the top of my site, so you can check there to see how I’m getting on. So, I’m going to make a concerted effort to try and fit this list into my pleasure reading. I need to do something about this, so I’m going to head out and buy a copy of Lolita, I’ve been wanting to read it for a long time, in fact, there are several books on the list I’ve been meaning to read… I will confess to being a little embarrassed by how few I have read. If you’re unfamiliar with this (unlikely I know) in 2005 Time‘s critics Lev Grossman and Richard Lacayo picked the 100 best English-language novels published since 1923 (the beginning of TIME). If you’re wondering how they choose these books click here to find out.Īnyway, I perused the list a little, those titles in italics are ones I read before beginning Jade the Obscure, those in bold, after (you can click on there to see my reviews). I recently stumbled, not for the first time, upon Time magazine’s All-time 100 Novels list.
