Top 100 Teen Books

I love lists, don't you? NPR Books recently announced its list for the Top 100 Teen Books after a poll that accumulated 75,000 votes. Going down the list, I have either read, partially-read (for the series), or plan to read 36 of the books on the list. Considering I'm a decade older than the genre is meant for, I'd say this is pretty good statistics. That means I'm still cool, right?
