I have given up trying to track my reading, although it should be easy since I am reading less nowadays.

Here is a list of the best books in the world ever written, selected by some clever algorithm that compiled a bunch of other “best book” lists to pick the most best book list. The resulting list was topped by Ulysses, which I never plan to read; page 1 was more than enough.

I was happy to see that One Hundred Years of Solitude made #7, but my other most favourite A Tale of Two Cities was only #274. How Wuthering Heights made #34, I cannot fathom. It would not be found on the same planet as my top 100 books.

[I see, in 2025, that there have been some adjustments in the list, but I stand by my comments above.]
