100 Books To Read in a Lifetime

While surfing pintrest, I came across a blog that had a list of 100 books to read in a lifetime. It gave me the inspiration to blog - as I have not made the time to so in a while. At some point, I will blog about the ones I have read.

The books bolded are the ones I have read.
