Don't ask me why there are 1017 books on it. I've lost the will to type - this is the original list for 2008, so there have been many additions and removals since. The most recent one I can find is this one from 2012: http://www.listology.com/triplem80/list/1001-books-you-must-read-you-die-2012-edition, knock yourself out!!
I was just searching for a list of books to read for the year ahead! Gonna keep looking at this!
ReplyDeleteI might take a whack at this, I've only read 35 of these!
ReplyDeleteJeepers - not even 50! 49 and I've got a bloomin' degree in English.
