1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die

Dec 14, 2009 23:44

Took a look at the list and seems like something to try. I guess I'll just try to read them in backwards order. The way they've arranged it is that the older it is, the further back on the list. I figured reading from the 2000s to pre-1700s would annoy me more than reading the other way.

Here's the first batch:
