Time magazine's 100 best novels since Time began

These are the hundred best novels chosen by the critics of Time magazine since Time began (it was first issued in 1923, which means that Ulysses by James Joyce doesn't appear since it was published in 1922). The list was written in 2005 so that was the end date. It was unranked, so the novels are listed in alphabetical order.
