Over 1200 Novels You Actually Realistically Might Read Before You Die

Finally a list of novels that you actually might realistically manage to read before you die. No non-fiction, no ancient texts, no huge collections, no plays, no poetry, just immensely readable novels.
Large range of genres covered, from Classics to Contemporary, Fantasy to Mysteries, Thrillers to Romance, Literary Fiction to beloved Children's Fiction and lots more in between. I'll be amazed if most of you haven't already read at least 350-400 of these gems.
