The House is on Fire! - Part 1

There was recently a large fire in Griffith Park in Los Angeles. A friend of mine lives near there, and may have had to evacuate. Not a good reason to think about it, but…what if you could only take 100 titles from your ‘about to be consumed by flames’ home? What would they be? I wrote this list fairly quickly.
