TIME Magazine's  All-TIME  100  Novels

Before and after the Millennium, various publications chose 'Best of' lists of all kinds. In October 2005, TIME Magazine published its
'All-TIME 100 Novels' listing, which is expanded on here. A few of the novels that were coded on Spirit of America's
'100 Books To Read In A Lifetime' Pages – from among the 160 Best Books (fiction & non-fiction) listed as such by Amazon
in 2013 – are included here to point out what TIME Magazine omitted.

Critics are recently saying that "Mrs. Dalloway" is 'the first novel of the internet' - hogwash! - because Clarissa believes that her parties offer 'the gift' of connectedness to the inhabitants of London (and somehow are an ancestor of online social media). author entry at Wikipedia • novel entry at Wikipedia Kindle Edition from Canterbury Classics [DUE 10/2022] for $4.99 Kindle Edition from e-artnow [5/2013] for 99’ Mariner Books mass pb [5/90] out of print/used indep 9x6 pb [3/2022] for $5.65 Classic Wisdom Reprint 9x6 hardcover [1/2021] for $11.58 available as free online flip-book at Internet Archive
