B&N: 25 Books You Probably Should Have Read Already

Jeff Somers on the Barnes & Noble web site says of the books on this challenge: "There are a lot of reasons books becomes 'must reads', and it's not necessarily just their literary quality. The 25 titles ... have much to offer anyone who picks them up." He goes on to justify the inclusion of each book.
