C's Top 200 Books (Fiction)

Listed in (very rough) chronological order of publication; criteria were a balance of "how often do I reread this" and "do I think it's actually any good". Some results left out due to an unfortunate case of The Ooze(TM). Rankings may have been massaged to assure an even 200.
