Okay, so I have read 4.3% of the books on the list and if I read 30 a year to get to the 1001...I will be 69 years old (32 years from now) by the time I am done - yikes!
I am very disappointed Tale of Genji is not on here. It is first novel turned classic. Also, the Bible even if you are not Christian..it still is an interesting read. Phantom of the Opera,Camilla (the vampire novel), The Good Earth, Chronicles of Narnia.
Edgar Rice Burroughs was a creative genius if you ever read all his series. Tarzan has 25 books, which are great. BUT, no mention of his Barsoom (MARS) series...I love, love it and has its merits.
With so much literature floating around how can you really pin down a list and have everyone agree with it? We all like so many different things.
I also see the new 2010 list does have some updates to it.
Hi Georg12 = which ones have you read? Just curious.
Camilla above I meant Carmilla...first female vampire novel and a classic also.
