1001 Books

Welcome to The Big Daddy of all book lists - 1001 Books to Read Before you Die. This list was put together by over 100 literary critics worldwide, and is edited every two years to add new ones and remove old ones so that the list always stays at 1001. This is the list as of 2012, meaning there should be a few new additions at this stage. I've put the ones I've already read (or attempted to read) in red. I thought it would be a fun way to challenge myself if I used something like random.org to pick a number and then read the corresponding book on the list - I'll review them as I go along, either here or on Goodreads. If you'd like to dip your toe in to the list, please let me know so I can see how you're doing! It's not realistic to expect to complete the entire list any time soon - even a book a week would take years, but it's a great way to find new authors and to read some of the novels that inspired great movies I've seen.

I reserve the right to decline any book thrown out by random.org, I'll generally read anything but I'm not a fan of certain genres, this is a fun challenge, not a punishment!
