The Vulture's "A Premature Attempt at the 21st Century Canon"
5 participants (101 books)
Overview
The Vulture's response to the NYT's premautre attempt to classify the best books of the current century. The list claims to contain 100 books, but included trilogies as a single entry, and also books as alternatives to the "official" book on the list. I tried to organize these as I felt best fits here, and ended up at 101 books.
This is sort of a companion to the challenge I made for the NYT's list, which contains useful links to other stuff. I also made a public tag for this list.
