A few years ago Modern Library picked the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. As with all "best-of" lists, much controversy was generated over the titles selected.
The top ten novels are as follows:
1. Ulysses, James Joyce
2. The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald
3. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, James Joyce
4. Lolita, Vladimir Nabakov
5. Brave New World, Aldous Huxley
6. The Sound and the Fury, William Faulkner
7. Catch-22, Joseph Heller
8. Darkness at Noon, Arthur Koestler
9. Sons and Lovers, D.H. Lawrence
10. The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck
Come visit the Monessen Public Library & District Center to see the rest of the list and to check out some of these "classics"!!
