The New York Times has had a couple of month process to determine the best book of the last 125 years. They had readers nominate their own choices 1300 books were nominated (60% of the books nominated were nominated once!). In November they compiled a list of 25 books from that group, and then 200,000 people voted. The Number one choice by a slim margin was To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkein was #2, and 1984 by George Orwell was #3.
