I was inspired to attempt a modified form of your 100 books a year goal after reading your post last October. I'm currently doing even worse at 24. My first alteration is that I'm including audio lecture series since they're longer, more informative, and more interesting than audiobooks. The second alteration is that I'm listing them in order of most to least useful.
The Kalam Cosmological Argument
Epictetus' Discourses
The Gift of Fear
Emotions Revealed
The Mind of God
Deep Survival
Fermat's Enigma
The Origins of Virtue
Microbiology Lab Manual
Does God Exist?: The Craig-Flew Debate
Churchill (audio lecture series)
God's Universe
A Theory of Fun
Stretching Anatomy
Life and Writings of C.S. Lewis (audio lecture series)
The Roads to Sata
Life and Work of Mark Twain (audio lecture series)
Egg and Ego
The Concerto (audio lecture series)
Painting as a Pastime
Loosing Faith in Faith
Many Faces Many Microbes
Four Reasonable Men

I didn't realize the year was half over until you mentioned it. Now I feel lazy.
