When I first went searching for the full list I came across 3 lists that were slightly different. So I added and removed some repeat titles. For example: One list had “The compleat works of Shakespear” as one then farther down the list “Hamlet”. The same with “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe” as one and “The Chronicles of Narnia” as another. So I got rid of all the repeats and combined the lists, and came out with a list of 101 books! I have put it in alphabetical order just because I like it like that! How many have you read so far!?
