In the beginning, there was confusion.

I have always loved to read. It's basically been the driving force of my life, and the books that I've read have had a huge impact on my personality (for better or for worse). In the twenty years that I've been a reader I've gone through thousands of books. Looking through my library, though, I realized that at the ancient age of 27 I've forgotten even the most basic plots of many of them. I can't even remember the names of the protagonists from novels which I've loved. It's like I've never even read them... which is unsettling. So, I decided to tackle the Modern Library's 100 Best Novels- hopefully both the board and reader lists- and document my analysis and thoughts about them. By publishing this journey I want to create a concrete memory for myself, so I can better remember the time and attachment I have with these novels. I don't want to let another twenty years of reading slip by!
