Amazon Research, Book reading, development, motivation, inspiration, improvement. Recent research by Amazon resulted in a list of 100 books that one should read in a lifetime.

100 Books Everyone Should Read Before They Die, or to be more apt, in one's lifetime to extract the best out of this wonderful gift of Almighty called 'The Life'.
Amazon's research is wonderfully presented by Business Insider. If reading, motivation, self-evaluation, introspection, and learning attract you, do spare a moment to read their article at the below link. Attached is the list of books (.xls format) along with the authors' names. Gradually, I would try to update the number of pages, year of publication, subject area, and availability status.

Amazon has created a bucket list of books so that book lovers will not need to refer to their list time and again and can go ahead with a package to read these books in line. Below is the link for all books at Amazon as a 'Bucket Package'.

However, I have initiated this topic with the below objectives:
1. Each one of us can contribute whatever books become available to people for free - so that they can pick it up even if they are not sure of spending on it.
2. If we have already read any of these books, we could share our review, analysis, or summary of the book which could serve as a comprehensive reference for people not so much into reading. This will also give an overview of the book which might invite them to read the book as well.
3. Creating Powerpoints (*.pps) to sum up the essence of the book which shall at least give the feel of the book to the masses.
Looking forward to contribution and cooperation from all members,
Happy Reading accelerated with learning and development of the core inner being,
Regards,

I went through the Amazon list of books and was disappointed to find that works of Harry Potter and Hunger Games made it to the list instead of Isaac Asimov's books, Jonathan Stroud's Bartimeus books, the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer, Neil Gaiman's books, Lee Child's books, and many others. I don't understand if the criteria was reading or revenue-earning.

Thanks for sharing your views, Ryan.
My opinion is: it's great motivation to read, and altogether the list seems good... and it never stops us from reading more. Let's all give it a try. Together we win, to be better than what we are today!!

Dear Neeru,
I appreciate your effort in presenting this information as well as your advice to other readers. I have also read a couple of them.
However, I have an apprehension. In India, there could be a similar kind and quality of books (in English) available, authored by both known and lesser-known writers. If someone with the same spirit made similar efforts to promote our publications, that would be equally appreciated. Furthermore, if we delve deeper, we may find many publications in various Indian languages as well.
I am not complaining about this effort. Since nobody has compiled Indian publications, this effort is commendable. Please do not interpret my words in that way.
My concern is not to sideline our identity while promoting others. If we do not promote our identity, no one else will. I apologize if my words have hurt you.
