I grabbed the list from here: http://www.modernlibrary.com/top-100/100-best-novels/

from sql.

The problem with taking the 100 best novels is that it is by it's nature a list that has been historically curated by men, and therefore tends to ignore or overlook female authors and POC. As an organization, we value inclusiveness, so we have to do better, imho.

Other book lists/Books that could be added:

^ I disagree with this URL choice. Sigh.

I have some concerns about the ala list. How about this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_books#List_of_best-selling_single-volume_books

I'm using that, with multi-author books removed and illustrators elided.. It's an improvement, of a sort.

This issue should remain open and be revisited when someone has more time.
