Came across a very interesting (and thought provoking) post on The Art of Manliness.
Its a list of 100 must-read books for men. While the list (and site) is clearly focused towards men, I think the list is valuable to anybody (both men and ladies...boys and girls)...so please check it out
I went through the list, and it looks like I'm more well-rounded than I thought. Here's the books that I've read on it:
The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
1984 by George Orwell
The Republic by Plato
The Catcher and the Rye by J.D. Salinger
How To Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Call of the Wild by Jack London
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
Hatchet by Gary Paulsen
Animal Farm by George Orwell
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane
Leaving through the list, here's a list of books that is on my list...or that I really really want to read:
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy
The Art of Warfare by Sun Tzu
The Federalist Papers by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison
On the Road by Jack Kerouac
Into Thin Air by John Krakauer (Thanks Amish for this one)
Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris
The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett (loved the movie, one of my favorites)
Searching for lots of things...but just a name right now
