The best 100 British novels What does the rest of the world see as the greatest British novels? In search of a collective critical assessment, BBC Culture contributor Jane Ciabattari polled 82 book critics, from Australia to Zimbabwe – but none from the UK. This list includes no nonfiction, no plays, no narrative or epic poems (no Paradise Lost or Beowulf), no short story collections (no Morte D’Arthur) – novels only, by British authors (which means no James Joyce).

(You can find my report on Fox & Friends called "Pastor is Hungry for Prayer.") Kim K.’s life is extremely public, most of the time that...

David Goffin of Belgium reacts during a match against Nick Kyrgios of Australia. World number one Novak Djokovic hopes Nick Kyrgios can learn some "life lessons" after the Australian was fined by the ATP Tour for breaching its code of conduct during a contentious defeat at the Shanghai Masters. The Australian was beaten 6-3 6-1 by Mischa Zverev in a second-round match on Wednesday in which he put in a series of half-hearted serves and appeared to be walking off court before the unseeded German had completed his shot. The 21-year-old, who has had a number of scrapes with tennis authorities over his behavior in the past, also clashed with spectators before being booed off the court and was subsequently fined $16,500 by ...
