Laza's List

Here's my list. I actually had a hard time coming up with 100 "gap" books. I could have just listed my TBR but that seemed to defeat the purpose. Hopefully this is a good list. It has a lot of authors that I've already read once and then panders to my obsessive tendency toward completism (i don't think that's a word, but it's definitely a condition). Definitely not enough works in translation, but oh well.
