On Reading

It is a matter of the imagination, and to the question "What is
one to read?" the best reply must always be the most personal:
"Whatever profoundly and permanently stimulates your imagination"  
John Cowper Powys

Here's 100 I would read again. A very subjective list I agree. Perhaps a third might earn their place in my ever changing list of best books. The most enjoyable part of lists like these for me is discovering new books I hadn't known about or considered reading before.
