Personal Reading Challenge: 1001 Books To Read Before You Die (LIST)


I came across this list years ago and have been keeping track of what I've read from it on Goodreads but putting it here will make it more accessible for me. I know I will never read all of these books (half of them don't even interest me) but I've marked a few off over the years. Perhaps with this list I will be more inclined to read more of these titles.

Total Read:  63 / 1000
