CanLit Top 100

Pardon my incompleteness – This project is still ongoing

As a Canadian who loves Canadian literature and wants to spread awareness of our rich literary history to the world, I took it upon myself to compile a list of the top 100 Canadian books of all time. I used Canadian literary awards and lists of top Canadian books from reputable online sources as the basis for my rankings. While the results don’t include many books from the past decade, it seems a fair assessment of our enduring classics and most notable titles of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Now comes my self-assigned task of reading all 100 titles!
