Goodreads' World's Greatest Novellas From #1 to 100

The Goodreads Members voted upon the Worlds Greatest Novellas. Novellas are generally books under 180 pages.
Note I have removed novellas that were repeats, but in different formats.
ex: The Turn of the Screw & The Aspern Papers was one entry and The Turn of the Screw was another.
