New York Times 100 Notable Books
''The New York Times Book Review'' (''NYTBR'') is a weekly paper-magazine supplement to the Sunday edition of ''The New York Times'' in which current non-fiction and fiction books are reviewed. It is one of the most influential and widely read book review publications in the industry. The offices are located near Times Square in New York City. Overview The ''New York Times'' has published a book review section since October 10, 1896, announcing: "We begin today the publication of a Supplement which contains reviews of new books ... and other interesting matter ... associated with news of the day."

Time's List Of The 100 Best Novels
''Time'''s List of the 100 Best Novels is an unranked list of the 100 best novels published in the English language between 1923 and 2005. The list was compiled by ''Time Magazine'' critics Lev Grossman and Richard Lacayo. The list includes only novels published between 1923 (when ''Time'' was first published) and 2005 (when the list was compiled). As a result, some notable 20th-century novels, such as ''Ulysses'' by James Joyce (published in 1922), were ineligible for inclusion. A list of the ten best graphic novels of the period was subsequently published as a supplement to the list. ''Watchmen'' (1986) by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons appears on both the 100 Best Novels and 10 Best Graphic Novels lists, giving the combined lists a total of 109 entries.
