Good reading redux

A few weeks back I got on the bandwagon and posted a list of the top 101 books of all time, noting the ones I'd read.

In the same spirit, Joe Carter at The Evangelical Outpost is compiling a list of the 100 best short stories to read in 100 days. At the time of writing the llist stands at a shade under 90. (Go post suggestions.) I don't necessarily want to jump the gun on his list, however I just can't wait any more to chime in, so here's the list, with the stories I have read highlighted:
