The 100 best books of all time
In 2002, the Norwegian Book Clubs gathered 100 authors from 54 countries and asked each one to list the 10 best works of fiction of all time. The authors responded and this list was created. The titles are arranged alphabetically by author name, so no one book stands above any other. The listmakers did, however, honor a single work 鈥� "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes 鈥� with the title of "best literary work ever written." The following is the group's definitive list of the world's 100 best books. How many have you read?
1. 'Moby-Dick,' by Herman Melville
