Shortform's 100 Best Satire Books of All Time

Shortform researched and ranked the best satire books in the world, based on recommendations from world experts, sales data, and millions of reader ratings. The top 100 books are listed, ranked from 1-100. Personally, I think there are flaws with the list - such an obsession with Terry Pratchett! At least it's different from other lists I've seen. Enjoy!
