After reviewing all major books published each year since 1900, below I've listed the best book published each year since then. There are some years that have books that are much better than the best book in other years - that's just life, though. For your reference, 11, 21, 31 etc. are the beginnings of each decade, i.e. 1910, 1920, 1930 etc.
