I need a list of the 100 best selling books of the 20th century (like
NYTimes bestsellers, for example). A list for the best selling
science fiction novels would also be helpful. |

Those would all be helpful, but I am trying to come up with
"influential" books rather than "good" books. So a "best-selling"
list would be a little more helpful than a "best" list, though both
types of lists are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your clarification.
I am releasing the lock to your question in the hopes another
researcher will be able to provide you with alternative lists. If no
one can provide you with what you are looking for and you are
interested in the lists I have found, let me know and I will post them
as an answer.
Best regards,
Rainbow
