126) Read The Modern Library's 100 Best Novels (Board List)
1 down, 99 to go
Why did this make the list?
Because I love to read! For as long as I can remember I have been an avid reader. As a child, I would take my current book with me wherever I went, and read whenever I had opportunity to. You can see from my adventure list that I kind of went overboard with the reading lists. So many books, so little time.
Before I found this list, I had already read The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, which I really didn't enjoy and will probably never read again.
