Well I didn't want to be negative and say the 'D' word but you get the idea. 

Back in high school one of the 'cool' teachers (we all had them) made a list of books to read before you die.  I recently got a box of my things from those far off days and went through it.  I found the list.  I thought, 'Hey, this is bloggable'.  So I will post it here and hopefully my bookish friends will post.
