I've got my list and I'm sticking to it!
How did I come up with this particular list of Top 100 Books, you ask? Well, I began with published lists of classic and contemporary books, genre and foreign novels. Then I cut out any titles I've already read, added several books by notable female authors that don't seem to make the other lists (hmmm...) and, of course, got some great advice both on and off the blog.
In an attempt to tear myself gently away for the world of Children's Literature, I selected novels that are marketed to both YA and Adult readers for the beginning of the list. (Is that cheating?)
I'll remove titles from the sidebar as we go, counting down through all 100 books. Yikes!
So take a minute and note the novels you want to read along with me. I've already requested my copy of The Book Thief; we'll be getting started any day now...
I'll definitely read along with you for a bunch of these! Great list.
ReplyDeleteI think you have The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie on there twice, so there may be room for another title...
Good catch, Caroline!

I added some Borges for a little South American flavor...
