Do You Have the Same Taste in Books as a Literature Grad?

A list of my 100 favorite fiction books that I've read - or what I can come up with in about an hour, anyway. They're mostly a mix of classics and YA, with other things sprinkled in occasionally. I just graduated with a Bachelor's in Literature (roughly; my school has a complicated name for the major), and my dream is writing middle grade fiction.
This doesn't quite measure matching taste, because you may have hated the books on here that you've read, but you can see how our tastes compare even if I can't!
Books are in no particular order, although I've tried to group ones by the same author together. Note that series may be incomplete - sometimes because I didn't like a book, sometimes because it just didn't quite meet the cutoff.
Enjoy! :)
