It is difficult to resolve the question of which are the best books in history, because it is clear that there is a lot of subjective in this. To give a clear example, for some people James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’ is an endless piece of nonsense (literally) and, for others, it is a masterpiece of world literature.
We already have a small list of the 135 best books in history that you must read that, if you have not seen it, we highly recommend it. Without establishing an order of priority or ranking, we have selected more than a hundred novels that, we consider, must be read if you are a lover of literature: for their influence, their quality, the renewal that they represented in the genre they belong to…
But today we wanted to look for a new point of view and we asked ourselves if the artificial intelligence (AI) that governs ChatGPT also has an opinion on which are the best books in the history of literature in its opinion. And it has surprised us by offering a fantastic list of classic works as a ranking headed by a Spanish novel! This is their list, what do you think?
