Bucket List Books

This is my very personal list of books I want to read before I kick off these mortal chains. It's a weird list because some of the books finish up an author's entire catalog for me - I've read all of their other works. Some of them are classics and "read before you croak" books. Others are books that were made into movies I loved, like "Cape Fear" (1962 version, thanks).
