Books Kate Will Read Before Starting Any New Shows - Page 2

I watch too much TV because it's what I automatically go to when I get home from work or get bored. So, while I intend to keep up with the few shows I actually enjoy and don't just watch to pass the time, I want to read these 100 books before I start any new shows. My goal is to read them all by the end of 2015, but since I'm getting a late start I can't guarantee it.
This list includes some of the most well known books ever written, most of which I have never read, it has been a significant amount of time since I read them, or I read them for class and therefore didn't pay as much attention to the actual writing and story.
