Article: The 50 best books of the past 100 years

I've read 6 of those. Based on volume of work that I have read, my top 5 authors would probably be: Larry McMurtry, Hunter S. Thompson, Vonnegut, Ayn Rand and Tolkien. Hemingway would probably come after that, but his books don't really grab my attention like the others.

Just starting to get into Cormac McCarthy, and Kentuckians Wendell Berry, Ed McClanahan and Gurney Norman.
