100 Books to Read Before They're Films

"There are always going to be books that are being made into movies, and we love to read them before they get the big-screen treatment as much as you do. If you like being able to say the book was better (isn't it always?), then we have 100 novels to dive into."
Note: There are actually only 97 books on this list, because the PopSugar's list mentioned some books twice.
