Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

This is my first book for the 100 books list. I won't reiterate my entire review, but I enjoyed it tremendously for what I learned about African culture in this particular region of Nigeria.
My review is up on my blog, Reading and Writing about It and on 5-Squared.
My general goal with my 100 books is to learn more about other cultures than my own and African culture more specifically.
Coming soon is Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies which is on my list. I am currently reading her book The Namesake which is not on my original list, and I'm loving it for the luscious prose and wonderful ability to tell a story. Plus she won the Pulitzer.
