100 Favorites

As I have been cruising the Internet reading about, what else, books, I've run across several Top 100 lists. Time Magazine has one. Erica Jong has one. USA Today has one. As does Modern Library, Teachers First, Newsweek, College Board, & The Best 100 List. AAR, Goodreads Best Romance, I thought it would be fun to list some of the novels I have truly enjoyed over the years. There are a few classics on this list, but mostly it is just a list of books I have enjoyed, fun reads, stories that made me feel. I would love to see other's lists. We all have our own favorites. Join me, let's see a list of your top 100 favorite reads.
