Books of the Century by Le Monde

I find this other list more deserving of this title: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokklubben_World_Library

If only because it's less french oriented, but also maybe because it starts with one of my favorite.

What a strange list. Many books I'd never expect to be listed, others I'd expect to be listed are missing. So I looked up the background and indeed it's based on strange methodology, citing wikipedia: "Starting from a preliminary list of 200 titles created by bookshops and journalists, 17,000 French participants responded to the question, "Which books have stuck in your mind?" (Quels livres sont restés dans votre mémoire?"

Makes more sense like that.

More clean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Monde%27s_100_Books_of_the_...

This should have an 1999 in the title even if the site and ebooks published are newer

I don't think I would place all of them in any 'top' list, but all the books I have read, ~60%, are great read. Weird list though.

Infinite Jest?
