I've read 41/100 and in some cases have only read part of the series. I don't recognize some of the names on the list and others I don't consider to be YA (The Lovely Bones, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, The Secret Life of Bees). There are definitely some books I've been meaning to read on this list. I just haven't had time yet!
