Daily Telegraph - 100 writers choose their book of the century
At the end of the 20th century Daily Telegraph ran a series where a writer (usually British) would name their single choice for the "Book of the Century". 100 writers participated, including Arthur C. Clarke, J.G. Ballard, P.D. James, Patrick O’Brian, Salman Rushdie, Mordecai Richler, Doris Lessing, Joyce Carol Oates, Anthony Powell, Anita Desai, John le Carre, Carol Shields, Barbara Cartland, and Ruth Rendell.
There are only 96 books on the list because some were chosen more than once (In Search of Lost Time by three writers, and The Leopard and 1984 each by two writers).
This is a community list.
You can contribute, edit, or help maintain it by adding it to your lists.
