1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die

I've done it. I've gotten in over my head. I've bought the book by Peter Boxall and am determined not only to finish all of the books that aren't on this list that I want to read (Such as 51 more Jules Verne books to go!) but read all of these as well!

That book scares me a little. Apparently there are only 13 books from before 1700 A.D. that the author deemed good reads, but something like 700 from the twentieth century. You really could have just found a long list of essential literature online, but regardless, it's a noble goal.

Well, I really should have gotten what I wanted and that's what I wanted! I got it so that I could read about the books instead of just buying something from a list that I knew nothing about. I plan on reading other books too... like everything Jules Verne ever wrote... ... but anyway. :-D
