This is just a copy of my lifetime reading list at the 1001 mark. I won't be updating this list, but I thought that it would be fun to have the first 1001 books I've read gathered in one place. Look for the next list of 1001 books I've read to appear in a decade or so. (That sounds like a goal--I think I will try to read another 1001 books by January 1 2017) And one more thing: Personally, I'm not too sure about most of the books on the 1001 books you should read before you die list. I think that they could have come up with a much better list if they'd tried. Maybe someone on this site should do an alternative 1001 books you should read list like some members did with movies. I don't have the time for such a project, but someone else might have a lot of fun putting it together.
