Country Girl's Favorite Books

A dear friend of mine has been looking for new books to read and asked me to put together a list of my favorite 100 books. Some of these he'll enjoy; some, he won't, but I should be able to steer him away from those. Maybe he should have asked me for my top 100 authors, it might have been easier.
