The Radcliffe List

My friend Cate is reading the best 100 novels (per modern library's list) and said the Radcliffe list is a little more modern, I took a look, and agree. Below is the Radcliffe list. I highlighted in green the ones I've read and in yellow the one's I'm adding to my list... I think this is such a fun idea! Anyone else reading from a list of books?

On July 21, 1998, the Radcliffe Publishing Course compiled and released its own list of the century’s top 100 novels, at the request of the Modern Library editorial board.
