http://www.listsofbests.com/list/46725 This is list of the best fiction written between the years 1900 and 1999 that I have read, according to me and sometimes others. I gave these books 4 or 5 stars. See also The Best Nonfiction of the 20th Century (http://www.listsofbests.com/list/46737) and The Best Speculative Fiction of the 20th century (http://www.listsofbests.com/list/46736 ).
