1001 books I must read before I die

I'm a late comer to most things (with the exception of naked broadband, but that's a whole other story) and the list of 1001 brooks to read before you die is a perfect example of that.

For the 37 people left in the world who haven't heard of the concept, the list was compiled by over 100 literary critics worldwide and edited by Peter Boxall, an instructor of English at Sussex University. Each title in the book is accompanied by a brief synopsis and critique explaining why the book was chosen. Since the list has been edited a few times since it commenced, there are a few more titles than 1001 now ... 1294 to be exact.

I first heard about the list late last year. A couple of workmates have various editions of the book and were going through them trying to work out how many they'd read and I was pleasantly surprised when I did the same: around 100. It was a short time only to think about adding the list to my list of things to do for 2011 ... and a short time after starting this blog to add my reviews.

Unlike my other blogs, I don't mind if no-one visits, no-one reads my reviews and I don't get a single follower. What I want to do is chronicle my thoughts about each story, and use those thoughts to remember each story. And to keep track of how many I've read, of course!

Enjoy, and if you have an opinion on the list, where you're up to or on a review ... drop me a line. I'd love to hear.
