1001 Books to Read Before You Die

By the way, THIS is the list I've been working my way through. I've currently read 69/1001 of the books (and own maybe 30 of the others) and if my (calculator's) calculations are correct, that's only 7% completed and rather a grim statistic. I don't really think I'll have missed out on much if I never read any of the other books on this list, but it bugs me that there are literally hundreds of books there that I've always meant to read. So, I will. In time. And I may even write about them on this blog.

How many have you read?!

  3. I've read somewhere between 40 and 50. I'm making my way through it too. But, I really recommend the book. It was given to me for Christmas and I love to browse through it, looking for ideas. The Handmaid's Tale has been my fave so far from the recommendations.

  4. 1001 books seems so overwhelming and I'm a reader, writer and former teacher. You'd think that I would have it down, but I don't know anyone who has really read all of them! Plus, if you spend your whole life reading those you won't get to read any new books that come out!

  5. I've read alot of books in my day, but only 3 off that list... I've been going through like 2 or 3 books a week lately, except for right now, I'm hung up on Jack Kerouac's On the road... But good luck with that list!
