Modern Library 100 Best Nonfiction : ウィキペディア英語版 | Modern Library 100 Best Nonfiction The Modern Library 100 Best Nonfiction was created in 1998 by the Modern Library. The list is what it considers to be the 100 best non-fiction books published since 1900. ''The Education of Henry Adams'' by Henry Brooks Adams topped the list, followed by ''The Varieties of Religious Experience'' by William James, ''Up From Slavery'' by Booker T. Washington and ''A Room of One's Own'' by Virginia Woolf. The list included everything from memoirs (such as those listed above) to text books (such as ''The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money'' by Keynes or ''The Elements of Style'' by Strunk and White) to polemics (like ''Silent Spring'' by Rachel Carson or ''Why We Can't Wait'' by Martin Luther King), to collections of essays (such as those of T. S. Eliot or James Baldwin). A separate list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century was created the same year. A list chosen by readers was published separately by Modern Library in 1999. With close to 200,000 votes,〔(100 Best Nonfiction Books ), modernlibrary.com; accessed September 18, 2015.〕 ''The Virtue of Selfishness'' by Ayn Rand was selected as the best non-fiction book. Two other titles related to Rand – ''Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand'' and ''Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life'' – were #3 and #6, respectively. The Reader's Poll has been cited by Harry Binswanger, a longtime associate of Rand and promoter of her work, as representative of "the clash between the intellectual establishment and the American people." However, Jesse Walker, writing in ''Reason'' magazine, has observed that the Reader's Poll is an example of the unreliability of internet polls and their tendency to overemphasize the opinions of small but especially devoted groups.
