First Post!
I created this Livejournal in order to participate in the books1001 community/project. The idea is that a collection of volunteers will read and review all 1001 books during 2011. Go here to sign up.
After my entry (in the original signup list), I posted the list of 136 books that I've read from the 1001 book "master" list, but I'll duplicate it here since it's somewhat lost among all the other entrants:
