Time Magazine's list of the top 100 English-language novels since 1923.

A selection of one-star Amazon.com customer reviews of the top 100 English-language novels since 1923.

On 1984 by George Orwell:

Don’t listen to anyone who tries to distinguish between "serious" works of literature like this one and allegedly "lesser" novels. The distinction is entirely illusory, because no novels are "better" than any others, and the concept of a "great novel" is an intellectual hoax. This book isn’t as good as Harry Potter in MY opinion, and no one can refute me. Tastes are relative!
