101 Books I Think Everybody Should Read! Cut off at 32

This is a list I've been working on, of all the books I think everyone should read. My goal is to reach 100 books, and possibly make the list into a book, at which point, I will add the title of the book to the list, ostensibly making it 101 books I think everyone should read. If there is a book you think should go on here that isn't here, comment with the title and author, or send me an e-mail. Books will not be put on the list if they have no underlying message or theme (such as Moby Dick, whose theme is obsession.) Also, please don't just send titles of books just because you like them. If that was all that was needed for inclusion, then I'd have a list of 1001 books I really, really love.

But that's enough of my idiosyncratic jabber. Without further ado, I give you: 100 (& 1) Books I Think Everyone Should Read! (cut off at 32).
