Feel like doing a little reading?

I recently came across this list for the novels on the Publisher's Weekly number one best sellers of the year from 1913 to 2013.  I thought it looked like a great list of books to read.  Some of them I've already read.  Most of the older ones, I've heard of but never read.  I just might see if I can fit some of these in this year - along with my reading group selections.  (**ones I really would like to read)

Looks like John Grisham has dominated the last 20 years of literature.  I've only read one of his books - the Christmas one about the grumpy people.  You can't tell I'm a Dan Brown fan can you?  I just like all the twists and turns his stories take.  I will probably never read the 'Fifty Shades of Grey.'  I got a lot of reading to do!  Don't know when it's going to happen, though.
