MODERN LIBRARY

The editors of The Modern Library were privileged to have the assistance of a
distinguished Board made up of celebrated authors, historians, critics, and publishing luminaries. In
1998 and 1999, members of the Modern Library Board participated in the “100 Best” project, voting on
the 100 Best Novels and 100 Best Non-fiction works, respectively.

BOOKS YOU'VE ALWAYS MEANT TO READ

We all have those books we’ve meant to read — the classics we never finished and the ones we could have sworn we’ve read but actually haven't.  That dusty TBR pile that still haunts us in our sleep.  Add these essential must-reads to your home library and finally read the books you never quite got to.
