"...which are modern enough to still be under copyright and thus most profitable to Amazon"?
- waterlesscloud 13y agoLike Great Expectations and Pride And Prejudice. Great insight!
- RaSoJo 13y agoPerfect. Explained everything!!
- grey-area 13y agoAgreed, there is far too much English-language and US fiction from the 20C in this list for it to be taken seriously. It's like top 100 film ratings on imdb - too distorted by the list-makers' parochial (in time and space) viewpoint to be useful. Recent fiction written in English has far too much weight in this list. A well-read life would start at the Iliad and the Meditations and other classics (all available for free) and work up from there, not Lemony Snicket!
