A Lifetime of Number One Books

All of the Number One Fiction books since the day of my birth. I originally thought it would be cool to read all of them and then I realized that it would take about 15 years and that some years I would be only reading Stephen King and Tom Clancy. There are definitely some gems I have missed though so I will start there. For some reason, in 2009 the top changed more frequently. Except for Where the Crawdad sings which is what I'm reading now.
