20th Century's Greatest Hits: 100 English-Language Books of Fiction
The 20th Century's Greatest Hits: 100 English-Language Books of Fiction is a list of the 100 best English-language books of the 20th century compiled by American literary critic Larry McCaffery. The list was created largely in response to the Modern Library 100 Best Novels list (1999), which McCaffery considered out of touch with 20th-century fiction. McCaffery wrote that he saw his list "as a means of sharing with readers my own views about what books are going to be read 100 or 1000 years from now".

BBC 100 Greatest British Novels
BBC Culture polled book critics outside the UK, to give an outsider’s perspective on the best in British literature. What does the rest of the world see as the greatest British novels?

This list includes no nonfiction, no plays, no narrative or epic poems (no Paradise Lost or Beowulf), no short story collections (no Morte D’Arthur) – novels only, by British authors (which means no James Joyce). https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20151204-the-100-greatest-british-novels
Encyclopedia Brittanica's Greatest Books Ever Written
Printed for 244 years, the Britannica was the longest-running in-print encyclopaedia in the English language. Literary critics, historians, avid readers, and even casual readers will all have different opinions on which novel is truly the “greatest book ever written.” Is it a novel with beautiful, captivating figurative language?

Here is a list of 12 novels that, for various reasons, have been considered some of the greatest works of literature ever written.
Enterntainment Weekly's 100 All-Time Greatest Novels
Here’s how we assembled the books list: We sat in a conference room talking about books we loved and admired. Our books editor, Tina Jordan, then made a rough list based on the conversation, and we argued about it endlessly, moved things around endlessly, cut and added things endlessly. This went on for at least six months, during which time we read like fiends. Eventually, this guy named Lou Vogel, who’s in charge of making sure we actually get around to publishing a magazine every week, said, “OK, you absolutely must turn in the final list right this second or I will scream and never stop screaming.” We never expected our books lists to please everyone. How could you agree with every book on a list like this unless you wrote the list yourself? And even you, whoever you are, like things that not everybody loves. Admit it, you like some pretty weird stuff.
