100 Must-Read Books

Bill links to this list which states:

There are the books you read, and then there are the books that change your life. We can all look back on the books that have shaped our perspective on politics, religion, money, and love. Some will even become a source of inspiration for the rest of your life.

For the record, I have read 81 of the 100 books on that list. But the real question is not about these 100 books, but how much of the grand list of 1001 fiction books you must read before you die you’ve managed to get through so far..
