Look's like two left--hope that doesn't mean anything ominous!
Actually four :-). I am half way through A Passage to India and A Bend in the River is on Hold at the library.
I finished A Passage to India and A Bend in the River. Both were great books.
Two books left now. I would be careful, considering the name of this group(just take a long time to read The Way we Live Now).
Go, man, go! The end is near! Soon you will achieve true enlightenment and will evolve into a state of incorporeal transcendent higher consciousness.Perhaps next you can join some sort of "50 Worst Books Ever Written" group...
I have a long way to go on the 1001 Books to Read before You Die list :-).
Congradulations on finishing all these books. :D I am really only getting starting on my list. Will you be working on the 1001 book list? :D
Melissa, I am working on the 1001 book list. I have read around 200, depending on which version of the list is used. There have been two revisions from the original. Steven
Congratulations on reading of these books. It will probably take me a few years to get to that point =)
Congratulations! thats great, were can i find a copy of the 1001 books to read.... :)
Mayra, there is spreadsheet available here: http://johnandsheena.co.uk/books/?pag... there is a free version and then one that has features that you pay for. I have my own spreadsheet that I developed. There are also many different 1001 bookshelves here on Goodreads and also a group. I plan on joining the group someday. Perhaps when I hit 250.
Ok kool thanx, yeah I'd say u closer to joining than me lol let me tackle these 50 and then well see :)Have u seen the list of times 100 all time best books? I saw it here on goodreads, I was sad to discover I've only read 4 of them.
