Thank you for the benefit of your insight and elegant literary taste. Thanks for the info, David. Aug 19, PM. Aug 21, PM. Odd list. A really strange list - how was it compiled? Only when you get right to the end do you discover that "all" time does not include any time before , or after Are the people at Time magazine really stupid enough to believe that before and after there was no time?

Are we now, post, living in a timeless state? This must be one of the top all-time stupid lists, from now until forever, in either direction. Aug 22, AM. One is to instruct. The other of course is to enrage. We're bracing ourselves for the e-mails that start out: "You moron! You pathetic bourgeoise insect! How could you have left off You say Mrs.

All-time or even a-little-slice-of-time best classics? Not in my world. Jun 13, AM. So many books still to read, where will I find the time?

Sep 22, PM. Like everyone else said, Ulysses definitely belongs here. While it's not my favorite novel, I'm about halfway through it right now, and so far I can hardly think of a stronger candidate for best of the century in terms of sheer scope, audacity, formal innovation, emotional content, depth of character, humor Sep 25, AM. It was probably disqualified by publication date. Yes -- see message Oh, since , okay. That makes a little more sense. I wonder if they made that cutoff date strictly so the default pick for "best novel of the 20th century" wouldn't make it, which would be an interesting perspective Sep 25, PM.
