About

An extraordinary literary journey, 100 Years traces the passages of life from birth to age one hundred through quotations from the world's greatest writers.

Authors include Herman Melville, Maya Angelou, Sylvia Plath, Gertrude Stein, David Foster Wallace, Anne Frank, Fyodor Dostoevsky, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and dozens of others.

Discussion questions for 100 years

Bring these to your book club — or discuss them with readers on Readfeed.

1
The book's chronological structure is central to its design. How did moving through life year by year influence your personal journey through the text, and did you find yourself reflecting on your own past, present, or future differently as a result?
2
The editors frequently juxtapose quotes from vastly different authors and time periods. Can you recall a specific juxtaposition that particularly struck you, and what new insight did it offer about that particular age or human experience?
3
Were there certain ages or stages of life, as depicted through the quotes, that resonated most powerfully with your own experiences, either from your past or what you anticipate? What made those moments particularly striking?
