bgerdin's "100 Greatest Books of All Time"

Have you been looking for a list of the best books? Have you found a list that doesn’t include your favorite book?

Many of the popular lists I’ve found don’t contain many of the books I hoped it would. So I’m going to change that. I have come up with a 100 list that combines many of the popular lists into one.
