books and more books

I scored 17 1/2 out of 100. Actually, not as good as I thought I would. It looks like I still have a long way to go. In fact, my KOBO eReader came pre-loaded with 100 classic books. Not the 100 in the list above, but quite a few of them are included. I've already started reading Pride and Prejudice again. So, I'm sure that in the next year, I can knock a few of these titles off the list.
