I started to make a list of the top 100 books to read, but somehow it morphed into 500+ books. That list was way too intimidating. Then I remembered the scratch off posters from last Christmas and that is the list I decided to use. Even better, someone created the list on the List Challenges website, so I didn’t have to type them all out.
Even though I have read a lot of these books before, I am going to read them again.
