I've come up with 10 more books I'd like to add to the list to help us get to 1001 books.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells
The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde (I know this is a play, but it still counts, yes?)
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
Cotillion by Georgette Heyer (This book features probably my most favorite romantic hero ever. Top five at the very least.)
The Mischief of the Mistletoe (The 7th book in the Pink Carnation series. It features a hero not unlike Freddy in Cotillion, plus his name is Turnip Fitzhugh.)
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
And Only to Deceive by Tasha Alexander
