Last week, Time magazine did a review of an upcoming book titled “The 10 Greatest Books of All Time”. The book is edited by J. Peder Zane and is published by W. W. Norton. The book is derived from asking 125 of the world’s most famous and sought-after writers to submit their Top 10 lists. And the result is a collection of 544 book summaries of which “The Top 10 Books of All Time” (book link) have been selected. Go to the book link to see other lists such as “The Top 10 Mysteries” and “The Top 10 Comedies”.
And here’s the Top 10 Books of All Time:
- Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
- Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
- War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
- Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
- The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
- Hamlet by William Shakespeare
