BOOK WARS….Want to know what a bunch of British bookstore employees think are the best hundred books of the past 25 years? Then you’re in luck! The list is here, dominated almost entirely by fiction. I’ve only read 15 of them, though I suspect I would have done better if science fiction had been more heavily represented.
I think I’ll nominate The Five People You Meet in Heaven as the most cringe-inducing book to make the list, even though I haven’t read it and therefore have no right to dismiss it so breezily. But I will anyway. Feel free to correct me in comments.
