Time's 100 best English-language novels (1923 - present)

[François Monti]

I love this one:

"/Lord of the Flies/ (1955)

*Author:* William Golding

“I am obsessed with /Survivor/, so I thought it would be fun. WRONG!!! 
It is incredibly boring and disgusting. I was very much disturbed when I 
found young children killing each other. I think that anyone with a 
conscience would agree with me.”"
