I've seen this challenge around a couple times before. Maybe it's the snow outside or maybe it was Kristi at Passion for the Page's post, but I'm finally motivated to write my list.
The idea is to list 100 books that you feel as if you should have read in the past but have never gotten around to reading and then read them over the next five years. You can find out more about this project at The Fill in the Gaps 100 blog and at MoonRat's blog.

My five years: January 1, 2010 -December 31, 2014
My list includes classics everyone has read except for me, books that have been on my TBR and wishlist forever, some newish releases I have heard great things about and a couple of first books in a series that I want to start but will never get around to without motivation.

Oh my...this is too ambitious for me. Love your list! Good luck with the project!
What a great list! I might join in too, it looks great. Good luck :)
Oh, great list! I found it surprisingly hard to come up with just 100. I've been adding and deleting from my list for about a month. I'm kind of glad to have it set now because, after reading your list, I'd be changing it again! Good luck Filling in the Gaps.
