100 Books That Will Make You More Interesting, More Attractive, & Sound Smart Even If You Aren't (Yet)

Want to sound smart in conversations with grownups or college friends? Make reference to one or two of these books (only if you’ve really read them!) and you will! There are lots of books in the universe and they’re not all required reading for class, so if you were to read only 100 books as a Young Adult, reading these would certainly not be a bad idea.
