Diverse Reading List

Fiction and Non-Fiction. Well-known and more obscure. A variety of time periods, countries, genres, formats, and authors. I challenge you to read this list of books, plays, and poems. It's a long list--are you up to the challenge?
I'm in the process of trying to read all the books on this list, myself.
