Number 47

I said I wanted to read the top 100 novels.  I've listed these here.  It is most likely not complete, as I will probably add some classic Christian novels; Chronicles of Narnia and The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are listed, though Pilgrim's Progress is not.

Here they are.  If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them..  My bucket list says the top 100, but I'm very willing to go over that number. :)  I will also strike through each of the novels as I read them.  A subsequent post will be added to talk about those books at the time I finish them.
