One of the best personal lists I’ve seen around here. I would love to read all of the titles on it that I haven’t read already.

Good luck.

GREAT LIST! I’ve either read or want to read every single book on it. the list is really good mix of modern & classic fiction, without being ridiculously exhaustive or too short.
