2009 yili AQShning mashhur Newsweek jurnali dunyo adabiyoti tarixidagi eng yaxshi 100 kitob nomini e’lon qilgan edi. Ushbu ro‘yxat so‘nggi 20 yilda o‘tkazilgan o‘nlab so‘rovnomalar, reytinglar asosida tuzilgan. Unda mashhur amerikalik jurnalist Opra Uinfrining “Kitobxonlar klubi” tomonidan saralangan kitoblar, Avliyo Ioanna kolleji va Santa-Fe o‘quv yurti tadqiqotlari, shuningdek, Buyuk Britaniyaning Daily Telegraph nashri taqdim etgan “O‘qilishi shart bo‘lgan 110 kitob” kabi ro‘yxatlardan foydalanilgan.

Newsweek saralagan ro‘yxatda kitoblarning tarixiy va madaniy ahamiyati, yillar davomida ommaviyligi e’tiborga olingan. Bu ro‘yxatni dunyo xalqlarining eng yaxshi kitoblari deb emas, g‘arb va ingliz dunyosi e’tirofidagi eng ommabop kitoblar deya baholanishi maqsadga muvofiq.
