A Bookworm's Top 100

I'm 47 years old and a lifetime reader. My interests have evolved and expanded over time. Some of these selections are part of a series. In those cases, I've elected to list the first book in the series, as opposed to picking a favorite. Some of my favorite authors wrote many many more short stories than anything of novel length. For Lovecraft, Poe, and Doyle, I've listed a representative work. How do my tastes compare with yours?
