Top 100 Best Novels & Must-Read Classics

Two of literature's most respected reading lists combined into a single print: the Modern Library's Top 100 Best Novels, compiled by a board of prominent writers and critics in 1998, and Penguin's 100 Must-Read Classics, a more accessible, reader-facing companion to it. Together they represent two genuinely different philosophies of what makes a novel essential, one weighted toward critical and literary significance, the other toward what actually gets read and loved, and the overlap and divergence between them is part of what makes the combination interesting.

Titles span James Joyce, James Baldwin, Charles Dickens, Truman Capote, George Orwell, Gabriel García Márquez, Virginia Woolf, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Jane Austen and F. Scott Fitzgerald, among many others, presented in a minimalist radial design with a layout and aesthetic that consciously nods to Penguin's own iconic publishing identity.
