Introduction

Since I first stumbled upon 1001 Books to Read Before You Die I've wanted to read them all.  I've kept track of how many I've read, start reading books from the list, and go away from it for awhile.  I always seem to find my way back though.  I enjoy reading, and read quite a few books, but I was surprised of how few of the books that I "must" read I've actually read.

Of course since I've started they have updated the list, not just once, but twice, and there are 1294 books that have appeared on the list.  I don't know the exact number of books that I've read so far, but it's somewhere between 50-100.  My plan is to write a brief review, or my thoughts on the books I've read, and I'll update with the books that I've read.

I won't stick to just the 1001 list - there are some other lists that I've stumbled across that interest me as well.  I also enjoy to read mysteries, and other current books, so I won't limit myself to just 1001 books.  I'll play it by ear, and see how things go.
