I decided since it's my list and I can pretty much do whatever I want, I'll read 10 from the board's list and 10 from the reader's list. And no cheating. All of them for this task will be books I haven't read until I started this list.
Will also read Catch-22, 1984, The Sun Also Rises, A Clockwork Orange, A Farewell to Arms, Finnegan's Wake, Pale Fire (I'm really interested in the structure. Nerd.), Brave New World, The Way of All Flesh, and The Grapes of Wrath.
1. The Great Gatsby
2. Animal Farm
3. As I Lay Dying
4. Lord of the Flies
5. On The Road
6. The Catcher in the Rye

Will ideally read Lolita, Heart of Darkness, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Slaughterhouse-Five.
