A Century of Reading - Page 2

Michael Towle has written a book called A Century of Reading: 101 Books. 101 Authors - The Best 101 Books.
He did it from 1920 to 2020 - so 101 books.
The only alteration I made was to separate the two Christopher Isherwood Books which he listed as the Berlin Books - as you may have only read one of them, so the list is now 102 books.
