Whenever we say Pride and Prejudice is a better book than Sense and Sensibility or Jane Eyre or Moby~Dick, we are evaluating and, in some way, ranking these old familiars.

Because there are more candidates for inclusion than there are spots, he concludes the book with "A Second Hundred (Honorable Mentions)" list. Of course, the open secret is that The Novel 100 isn't really about pigeonholes. Nor is it an invitation to a fistfight. Its purpose is to start readers off on a lifetime friendship with great books.
