From The Sunday Times supplement Culture. 06/10/13

You won't find the usual 'classic' suspects here, but the reads that Culture really rates, and that we recommend to you.

(The 100 books chosen here are our favourites, and not all of them are literary classics. There have been casualties, inevitably, titles from the canon that we felt needed little recommending. We reluctantly jettisoned short-story and poetry collections, but several novellas and long short stories made it through; Gawain, too, though strictly it's a poem, as the novel had not yet been invented).

Please don't add any books. Thank-you.
