100+ Must Read Novels (Todd's Highly Subjective Recommendations) - Page 2

Not sure why, but three different people asked me if I had a list of novels they ought to read, so I made this. As the title suggests, it is highly subjective. It is also limited to books I have read, so I'm sure there's a bunch more that will end up on the list, but it's going to take some time. Happy reading! (Note: I took it down for a moment to fix the list image.)
