Business Insider Reviews. 10. januar 2022. Bare nok ei interessant liste. Det er mest bemerkelsesverdig at det er så mange klassikere på lista.

Det er litt tilfeldig om det er den norske eller engelske utgaven som er lagt til lista.
Noen mangler i Bokelskeres søkearkiv:

• The Four Winds av Kristin Hannah
• Beach Read av Emily Henry

En artikkel fra 2020 mente på at disse 10 bøkene er utfordrende.

Lista er knyttet sammen med denne posten.

Etter hvert ble det stor aktivitet blant en del bokelskere for å svare på Haralds utfordring fra New York Times: Hvilken bok utgitt de siste 125 år er den beste? Jeg har nå saumfart boksamlinga mi uten å finne eksakt svar - kandidatene er jo så altfor mange. Dette er ei liste over mine nominerte, forsøksvis inndelt geografisk: Norden, Nord-Europa, Sør-Europa, Afrika, Asia, Nord-Amerika, Latin-Amerika og Oseania. Om jeg greier å sile ut en "vinner" fra hvert av områdene, vil vise seg.

Januar: Bok utgitt mellom 1961 og listas ende.
Februar: Forfattar frå Afrika.
Mars: Kvinneleg forfattar.
April: Forfattar frå Amerika (Nord-, Mellom- og Sør-Amerika).
Mai: Bok utgitt mellom listas begynnelse og 1799.
Juni: Forfattar frå Europa.
Juli: Bok på minst 500 sider eller meir. Må ha med minst ein murstein.
August: Forfattar frå Asia.
September: Mannleg forfattar.
Oktober: Victober.
Det er eit lesemaraton som går føre seg i oktober der du skal lese viktorianske bøker/verk gitt ut i Storbritannia eller Irland i årene 1837-1901 (altså i dronning Victorias regjeringstid). Lesemaratonet sin definisjon sier at du kan kun lese bøker/verk gitt ut av britiske eller irske forfattere, eller forfattere bosatt i Storbritannia og Irland, i årene 1837-1901.
November: Bok utgitt i ditt fødselsår. Har du lest alle som er utgitt det året du er fødd, kan du velge fritt.
Desember: Bok utgitt mellom 1901 og 1960.
