100 books to read before you die reading challenge

I thought it might be nice to have a little list to read, you know, if you weren't already busy reading some of the books on the list, or doing some other kind of nonsense....like cleaning or eating. So why not pick up one of the more famous ones? And why not try reading a little more often? Maybe one a week? By the end of the list, you'll wonder where the last two years have went.
