    Best novels of the 20th century...

    Top 100 best novels: http://www.ndtv.com/ent/booksbest100.asp

    I've only read 3, haha. The Great Gatsby, Lord of the Flies, and A Farewell to Arms. I really enjoyed the first 2, didn't care much for A Farewell to Arms. I expected Of Mice and Men and To Kill A Mockingbird on there. Of these mentioned, The Great Gatsby was probably my favorite.

    How many of the Top 100 have you read? And what's missing?

          Brave New World is #5. What's it about?

          I've seen many of the movies, probably 10.

              correction. 3 i've read i scanned it quickly

              it's about a chemically runned society, free sex, 'religon', and much more sometimes it gets a little weird .....check it out great book. i only read becasue it was a class requirement and enjoyed it...if i still had it i would send it to you

                          I've read a handful of them, but I have to say I was surprised by deliverance. I never knew that movie was based on a book.

                              To Kill A Mocking Bird and Lord of the Flies are both great masterpiece.

                                  Good list... unless I missed it in the quick glance, I was surprised neither book by Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, or The Fountainhead were on the list. Two of my favorite.
