I did it!  I found a book list that has books on it that I’ve actually read.  This list is from Project Gutenberg. I will share this list of of over 500 of the world’s greatest books in five installments.  The entire list can be very intimidating, so I’m going to share about 100 books at a time here. I want to try to read more of these books.  I managed to come up with nine books that I’ve read in this list of 100.  Just click the link following the book to read it online.
