109 books to read before you die

There are so many different lists of the greatest classics, each one claiming to be "the list." But this one was 1) smaller than 1001 titles and 2) didn't have so many trashy modernist novels I have no wish whatsoever to read. So I picked it. I've also tweaked it a bit.
It makes me want to quit everything and read. My goal is to finish this list and be able to cross out every one. And if I ever finish this list, I'd like to tackle another.
