1001+ books to read before you die. The list.


As a librarian everyone is always asking me for lists of books they should read.  I am not very well read beyond the YA novels that I consume every year so I am always looking for lists of good books.  Here is one that is actually over 1300 books long.

I actually have no idea who compiled this list.  Perhaps it is a conference of scholars or maybe just a few geeky college kids sitting around making lists of books.  I don't know.

Lest you think I am more well read than you, I've only read 90 books on this list. Many, many of them I do want to read.  Many I've never heard of.  :)

Happy reading!
