Fun project, thanks for starting!
I'm more likely to participate with a 50-book list than a 100-book list. Doing so gives me more freedom to read other things on the spur of the moment, or go on movie/TV binges as I frequently do during the year, without feeling like this has the pressure of a school assignment. So here's my 50-book list, all fiction. Bold = in progress. Italics = finished.

awesome, awesome list.
i love that you have UDOLPHO on there!! i just read NORTHANGER ABBEY (for my 100) and got to read ALLLL about Udolpho.
Thanks! I read The Castle of Otranto last year, it was pretty fun -- thought I'd continue the gothic novel thing with a selection or two here...
Was it good? I've always been told those novels were really horrible, sort of the Harlequin of the day. Same with Horatio Alger. But then, RL Stevenson wrote 'penny dreadfuls' and 'shilling shockers' so it's hard to know whether that's just high-nose talk :D
It was silly and ridiculous, the language was laid on thick, and it was what I was in the mood for at the time. I may return to it in a few years, for another more critical reading -- but I did enjoy it!
"Penny Dreadfuls" is what I would name my rock band...
Great rock band name! I want to read either Udolpho or Otranto (sp) before reading Northanger Abbey.
How about 'Penny and the Dreadfuls'? Just for that punky touch... ;P
John Connolly! YES!!!!!!
That is such a brilliant book! and so is the book thief - i sooooo highly recommend both of them!!! Great List!
Just finished Chatterley; it was not really what I expected. The writing wasn't very smooth, and from a technical standpoint, it didn't really make me want to read any more D.H. Lawrence. But it was thought-provoking, especially the animal vs. industrial dichotomy. And I just saw The Black Swan, which already had me thinking about mind vs. body issues, so this fits into that as well...
