Counterpunch 100 Best Novels in English Since 1900 - Page 2

These are the favourite novels since 1900 of Counterpunch editors Jeffrey St. Clair and Alexander Cockburn. The source list was published in 2014 and has been used by the greatestbooks.org for its master list.
The beginning of the list has many of the usual suspects, but there is a great deal of variety in the remaining works.
BTW, Item 45 does not appear in the original list, so the total items is only 99. But who said editors should be able to count to 100.
