Brandon's All-Time Top 100

This was a challenging list to make. I'm a 46-year-old lifetime reader. There's a lot of fantasy with dollops of horror and the classics, reflecting my own tastes. Each book listed tells a good story that I really enjoyed reading. Each is a different experience. I tried to stick with novels only as opposed to anthologies or short stories. That didn't work with Lovecraft or Poe, so I just listed a favorite story from each. I only included one novel from any longer series even if many of them could fit on this list. Maybe I'll try this again in another 5 years or so to see what has changed.
