THE TOP 100 - part one (with credit to several people!!!)

Me and my cousin play this game called 'Top 10...' where we name a category for each other and then have to list our top 10 things under that category. Simple but I thought I'd explain. Much to her 'annoyance' though this has leaked into some crazy Facebook thing (hehe...she's jealous!) which means that I've spent the last 2 days wandering round randomly shouting book titles at poor, unsuspecting strangers who I'm sure think I've escaped from the Loony-House...to be fair I do look as though I could have!!!

Deciding on a list of top 10 books though is impossible!!!!! 

Sooooo, because I'm a MASSIVE geek I've taken my own top 10 (or 20...) and combined it with the suggestions of others to try and create a Top 100!  (in 2 parts though because I'm lazy...)

AND I CHALLENGE EVERY READER TO FIND AT LEAST ONE FROM THIS LIST THAT THEY LIKE!!!!! (or don't like...)

I have read most of these, but not all! So I won't take responsibility for some of the less fabulous choices (mainly Frankenstein - not my choice! Don't blame me!)
