Reading Hall of Fame

I used to read a lot, then, like many Americans growing up to become an adult, I promptly stopped reading at all once I started working. Cognizant of this horror, I restarted to make an effort to block out time to read, but it was in vain until I discovered Audible. Now, I swallow hundreds of hours of books, and will keep a running ranking here of the best books, both audio and otherwise, that I've read.
