1. SUGGEST. The first thing we need is your suggestions for the book list. If you have a suggestion, please email it to us at info@100booksproject.org, or post it below.
We are looking forward to your comments and suggestions. You can also express support for or disagree with an entry on the list.
2. DONATE BOOKS. If you have a book that is on the list–or another book by an author on the list–and you would like to donate it, we would deeply appreciate if you would send it right to us!
Another option is to order the book from Amazon.com and have it mailed to us. The majority of the books on the list sell used through Amazon for less than $2, plus shipping. Please order used books in good or very good condition.
Books can be sent to our shipping address at:
The 100 Books Project, 40-12 72nd Street, Suite B, Woodside, NY 11377
Our immediate goal is FOUR of each title. Click here to check current inventory.
3. DONATE FUNDS. If you would like to fund a library or send a cash donation, stay tuned. We should be ready to accept cash donations within the coming months. The project was incoroporated in April 2008 in the State of Delaware, and is awaiting its formal documentation.

The following questions are meant to guide you as you think about what books to suggest for the list:
1.What are your favorite books? Why?
2. What books would you like an intelligent young person in Egypt–our first project site–to read to learn about your culture and you?
3. What books do you think would accessible and appropriate to share across cultural differences?
4. What is the book’s difficulty? Please keep in mind these will be read outside of a classroom. If you only understood a novel because you took a class on it or read the Cliffs’ Notes, it’s probably too difficult. (Joyce’s Ulysses comes to mind). The project is looking for books that can speak eloquently to readers for themselves.
For additional guidance, please see the FAQs.
