Top 100 Books of the Last 100 Years

This is a book list that was distributed at Fully Booked Rockwell a few years back.  I've been wanting to share it and tried looking for it in the net but couldn't find it. Luckily i've kept my hard copy so here's a scanned copy. To the management of Fully Booked whoever and wherever you are, thanks a lot for this!   It was the trigger that got me hooked and i still refer to it every now and then to inspire me to keep on reading! You might want to consider uploading it on your website :-)

Fully Booked Top 100 Books List
Distributed around 2003 to 2004

Out of the ones I've managed to read so far (which is really just a handful) my BIGGEST FAVORITES are:
  • The Life of Pi by Yann Martel (2001)
  • Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden (1997)
  • The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck (1931)
If I may add the following really WONDERFULLY ENJOYABLE BOOKS i've read which I think should have been included:
  • The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet (1989)
  • Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier (1938)

    I should start reading again; it's been a while. :)
