101 Recommendations for a College-Bound Reader

So, when I was in high school, I stumbled across the list of 101 Books for the College-Bound Reader. On the list were all the classics you would expect to find on a recommended literature list. But then there were a few that I had never heard of. (Who on earth is Chinua Achebe??) But either way I thought to try to read them all would be a good goal to have! Well, it is ten years since my high school graduation and I am have only read 36 of the 101. Have you read many of these?
