Neat! I'll ask you for help then.

Is there a highly regarded list of what were considered the best books of the 20th century? When I think of film I think of AFI’s for instance. Is there a good and reliable one for books?

oh no what have i done

off the top of my head, i don't know! my knowledge of the industry only goes back a decade at most and most customers are only interested in contemporary stuff (we don't sell used books). i can try to find out though. i would point you toward the man booker prize and national book award winners, but those are gonna be super english-centric and only existed for half the 20th century

You can probably come up with a good US based list from the Pulitzer Prize winners in fiction and non-fiction. Fiction run you from 1917 to now & non-fiction is 1962 to now, but some years they didn't have any winners.

Started Detroit Become Human. The storyline is pretty goofy but I like the branching paths a lot. However I can tell I'm going to be getting pretty annoyed at the timed dialogue since it's not clear what my character is going to say in half the options.

They’re fiddling with subtitles in Killer 7 hd. Does this mean they could be implementing English subtitles?!
