Hey, I was at work, at the library, and I had to shelf this book called 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die by Peter Boxall. I flipped through, but I thought it'd be interesting to see how many of the 1001 books you've already read. Here's the list in the book on a website:
www.listsofbests.com/list/2222
Because there were so many books, I'm not certain the list online and the one in the book are exactly the same (online they're in no order, but in the book they're grouped into centuries).
Here's the list of what I've read so far to start off:
1700s (both for school) -A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift -The Interesting Narrative by Olaudah Equiano
1800s (all for pleasure) -Jane Austen (S&S, P&P, Emma, Persuasion, NA, and most of MP) -Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley -Dracula by Bram Stoker -Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson -Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevension -A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens -The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas -Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas -Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll -Little Women by Louisa May Alcott -Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (I've read many of the short stories and such, but I don't know if this means all of them or not)
1900s (most for school) -The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (pleasure) -Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald (school) -Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston (school) -Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck (school) -Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck (school) -Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger (school ) -The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (pleasure) -I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou (pleasure) -Perfume by Patrick Sueskind (pleasure) -The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien (well, half of it anyways...pleasure)
And, I haven't read anything on the part of the list for 2000s Obviously I enjoy the 19th century literature more than the rest So I've read 28 books. That's sad. I bet some of you have read well over 100 that are on this list.

And I guess I'm glad to see that several books on my TBR pile are included in that list, but who exactly made up the list? I was surprised by some of the books that were selected - trust me, you can live and die peacefully without having read Gravity's Rainbow or Clarissa...!
