The century's top 100 books

COVER STORY | By Gene Edward Veith, Marvin Olasky

On July 3, WORLD offered a list of what were, from our perspective, the top 40 books of the century. Having a top 40, though, smacks too much of pop-radio play lists.

From our perspective, with our bias toward English-language books, represented here are 100 of the top books of the century. Authors are listed in alphabetical order, and only one title per author is listed, though the author's other books may be equally worthy of inclusion. Readers, of course, will note gaping holes and flaming omissions.   More >>
