This is a list of 200 “classic” books that I will be working through for the next several years. I will link to my reviews of the books as I complete them. 

[Note: this is a revamp of my old list of books I had up here before. I updated this in January 2013, so it looks like I haven't read anything here. I've read about half of the books on this list, but I want to re-read them because I read a lot of them when I was younger. And really, how much can a 7th grader get out of War and Peace?]
