I've tried pretty hard to only include 1 book/author even when I love all of their books.
It was pretty damn near impossible to choose a Bukowski or Chandler (that's why they appear so late in the lists!) - hopefully these are one you might not know so well.
Civilization and Its Discontents would have been 102. (Is that cheating, telling you that?)
Now to compile them and have a permanent list of 101 amazing reads!
