5.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to your library!

For me 'The Modern Library' was a serindipiduous find at the St. Lawrence Antique Market in Toronto! At first I skipped through the book noting my favourite novels and delighting in the selection and the language of the synopses and reviews. This I followed with a second and third read through to discover books for future enjoyment. THEN .....I set about ordering several more copies , for my brother in Oxford, England , and friends in Canada.
I thoroughly recommend this book for those who want to be reminded of the novels that moved us in our formative years , but also for dipping into to choose a good read.

Piacevolissima ed utile lettura che consente (ogni pagina è una recensione) di scoprire eccezionali autori di romanzi in lingua inglese scritti nella seconda metà del XX sec.
Come inevitabile effetto collaterale la mia libreria si è ingigantita oltre il consentito.

Although I don't necessarily share the reviewers' opinions of the novels I've already read, I find this book very helpful for future reading.

Also, though used, it is in excellent condition.
