    Read The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.

    It's controversial, and important, and it SOUNDS boring just from that, but trust me, it's totally worth it. It's possibly the greatest book written in the last century. I mean it. This is a truly amazing novel and even though you're bound to get frustrated with it and throw it at the wall at least once, you come out the other side and you're never the same again.

    Also... *only* 200 books next year?

    Source(s): I'm an obsessive reader. I love reading anything and everything. Trust me. The Fountainhead.

    I absolutely LOVED Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. I read it for an english project and fell in love with it. It is soooo amazing!! It is about a boy who used to get bullied and brings a gun to school one day. Its sad but so amazing!

    i also loved The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. It was amazing! It's also a movie.

    Source(s): good luck with your goal :)

    Hunger Games. it is about future new England turned into 12 districts run by a capitol. to show that the capitol has power over the districtts, each distric must send one boy and girl to an arena to fight to the death on live TV. their is romance through the book. the book is sad and creepy (i live in new England) but i thought it was a very good book. and if you like the first, the second book to it is Catching Fire. and i think the third is coming out next year in Nov.

    the books were very good and i recommend them to anyone who enjoys a good plot, a sad but happy story!

    and good luck with your 200 books!
