1001 Books

I just stumbled across this list: "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die".

Now while the whole "dying" part is a little morbid (and who knows, really, when our numbers will come up?), I thought it would make for an interesting project.

I think I might take a look at this list and pick a date (maybe my 65th birthday?) and try to have them all read by then. I won't read them in order -- I'll just pick one and go from there.

Anyone feel like joining me?

I think I might. I went through the list and I have only read something like 68 of the books, which makes me feel kind of dumb.
