19/101 so far! New Years Resolution: Read nineteen more.
**Update: Read ten more books in 2012 (see the books I've marked with a "✓")**
I found this list sometime in high school. I can't remember where it's from, but I've kept it stashed between my copy of Wuthering Heights. The books listed here offer a wide-range of genre and difficulty level, and I find myself being introduced to new novels that I never would have thought to consider... I love that.

Not included on this list? Countless. For example, The Hunger Games
series by Suzanne Collins. Go read it now. You won't regret it, I promise.
