I am organizing a top 100 books list. If any of you want to put your top 10 or 20 favorite books on a comment and publish it here, I will try to organize the lists and post a list of the top 100. Please tell everyone you think would be interested!

P.S.
I am expecting these lists to be lists of teenage boys' and girls' favorite books.
