The Pretentious Book Memo

So this book list was circulating throughout facebook, and as I seem to be struggling to find new books to read, my goal is to go through this list and try to choose some of these. I am currently reading "Catch-22", which I've heard mentioned many times in my life, but really had no clue what it was about.

Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. Currently, I have read 35 of them. We'll see how many I can add to it.

How many have you read?

Any recommendations on what to read next?
