Fill-in the Gaps Project

As the name says – the goal is to fill-in the reading gaps we managed to accumulate by reading what we want, istead of what we ''should''.

The time frame is roughly 5 years for 100 books. My list is a bit longer, 110 books, and I will plan to read at least 100 of them by the end of 2020. Seems like forever...

My list was generated by the following criteria: universally acclaimed science-fiction books I should have read years ago, but still haven't; old crime stories (because they are old and free); some contemporary women's stories, which I wanted to read the minute I saw the title – and still haven't, for whatever reason that may be; some classic women's books; some men's works – just so that they don't feel completely neglected; and finally – comics (I'm sorry – ''the graphic novels'') patiently waiting for their turn.

I have access to most of books listed here, but not to all of them. But hey, I have five years to find them somewhere...
