Entertainment Weekly’s 100 “new classics”

June 23, 2008 By: The Book Pirate Colin Matthew Category: Book News, Thoughts on Books, links

Entertainment Weekly has taken up the task of selecting the best “new classic” books of the last 25 years. While I’m hesitant of the reliablity of a periodical that names Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as #2 (please, Prisoner of Azkaban was far surperior) and one that considers The Da Vinci Code (please, Angels and Demons was far surperior) as a classic. I’d rather get my “new classics” from a source that doesn’t use book reviews to fill up the space between advertisments for TV shows.

Either way, check it out here.
