Book List Challenge

So for the past 8ish months I have been working on reading a booklist I found in Entertainment Weekly. I don't read strictly the books from the list, but have a general time frame to finish the list in the next 5 year(hopefully I don't give up!). I have found that it has forced me to read some really freakin' good books by author's that I had either never heard of, or never thought about reading.
For example, "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood. It was written the year of my birth, so always seemed old. But it was an amazing, beautifully feminist, and a little reminiscent of "1984" and "The Giver," so of course I loved it.
When I started the list, I think I had read 10 books...I'm not sure how many I have read now, but heres the list with stars next to the ones I have read.

Reading through the list again reminded me of how reading "Interpreter of Maladies" made me get over my hatred of and fall completely in love with short stories.
So according to my count I have read 27, so I'm 27% done! I'm almost finished with "Mystic River" so really, I'm almost 28% done!
There are also a lot of famous books on here that I don't think I would have ever picked up if I didn't force myself to read this list!
Now I'm getting excited to read more. I have to put all these books on my BookMooch list!
