Time Magazine Top 100 Novels Since 1923

Here's the link. "Best of" lists are always interesting. I can't really figure out why the two Time book critics started with 1923 (its the year after Ulysses came out), but this seems like a creditable list. Interestingly (for book critics) these guys are not "literature snobs"-- sci-fi (Neuromancer and Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash) and even comics (Watchmen) are represented. Personally, I've read 47 of the books and I think their judgment is pretty good. Every book has a link to its original Time magazine review-- EDIT-- unfortunately you need to be a Time subscriber to read the entire reviews-- too bad.
