1001 books you must read before you die

There's actually already a group here on Goodreads called "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die." To find it, go to Groups, then use the Search Group box and type in 1001 Books. Eureka! You'll be there (and ain't technology wunnerful).
It has 888 members (Crazy 8's, anyone?) -- plenty to discuss the agony and the ecstasy of overplanning with... only I'm quickly learning that the # of people in groups here means nothing. Many goodreaders never participate (or hardly do) in groups they belong to. They just join will-nilly (not that Willy-Nilly is a group, but they join it, is all). Me, I like to be judicious about the groups I join and not participate in.
Have fun. I would join you, but I have enough problems with my TBR pile. I don't need 1001 more (esp. from "literary experts," of all things).

Good luck with the marking.
I bought that book-=-got it for Christmas...It's a neat book in and of itself...it will take a while to read all those books!

Good luck with it, Ed! Of course, by the time a guy like ME got even halfway through a list that huge, there'd be a NEW 1001 books written that the (new) experts would declare even better (thus, "mustier reads" than the "must reads").
Aye, Dios (as they say in Mexico and a few other places...).



If your local library is subscribed to WorldCat--and the vast majority of them are--and their policies allow it, you can borrow books from anywhere in the world through Interlibrary Loan. (Unfortunately, mine only allows the US and Canada, so I'm still trying to get my hands on Barak Turna's Metalstorm, which AFAIK has only been released in Turkey...) If you're really after something that sounds good, don't let its unavilability in the local shops stymie you. Your library may be able to dig a copy up.


I'm just wondering if anyone else is working the list as well and would like to talk about books from that list.
Here's one link to the list:
