Readers' Choice

Canada's Chapters Indigo polled its people to find out their favorite books....and here are the top 100. I've only read 30 of them. Considering that I majored in English, I was kind of disappointed; I realized, though, that popular fiction isn't included in most of your University Literature courses. Doesn't matter - I consider myself a reader, and I haven't read 70% of the books on this list. My books-to-read-list just grew.... :) Books I've read are in blue
