The Idea That Started It All:

The title of this post makes me thing there's going to be lots and lots of posts to follow. Luckily, that's the goal.

Today I was browsing blogs and I came across one that mentioned the difference between the BBC's original version of the list and the facebook version. I won't go into that. If you want to know, google it. Anyway, I looked up both versions for kicks and giggles.

While reading the BBC list I realized I've read a lot of the books. 36 for sure, with 3 more I think I might have read. I couldn't help thinking how cool it would be to say I've read all of them. And that was the beginning of my plan.

I don't remember most of the books on the list that I HAVE read because I read them in high school or before. This lead me to decide to re-read the one's I've read before as well as read the ones I've never read. By the time I'm done, this blog will contain posts on 100 books. There will probably be multiple posts per book, so this is going to be a long project with a long blog.

I'm not going to read the books in order, but I will let you know what number it was on the list. Some of the "books" such as The Lord of the Rings have more than one book in them, so they will have several posts about them before I'm done. But I will get through them all. One at a time until the list is completely marked off.

100 books in WAY more than 100 days, beginning today.
