Gertie's "The Gertie 100"

Add to my lists | Print this list

"First I googled top 100 and classic book lists. Then I put 7 lists together, sorted them, and chose the ones that were on every list. I removed books that I KNEW I had read, but left in ones that I was unsure of or had only seen the movie of."
