1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die

I was randomly browsing Shelfari... one of my favourite sites when it comes to books and I came across this book...

1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die


How cool is this!?! Apparently the books have been handpicked by a team of international critics and literary luminaries. Each entry is accompanied by an authoritative yet opinionated critical essay describing the importance and influence of the work in question. Also included are publishing history and career details about the authors, as well as reproductions of period dust jackets and book designs.
For a quick look at the list... go here...

Now I am off to striking of the books I have read from the list :) Maybe you should do the same too.
