1001 Books to read before you Die

A couple of fellow 101ers have posted about this link. It provides an excel spreadsheet to calculate how many of the books Dr. Peter Boxall recommends that you read before you die.

I consider myself to be fairly well-read. However I have only read a measly 40 of the 1001 books. That is only 4%! I have to read 19 books a year for the rest of my life to finish this list. Sheesh!!

So tell me how you did!
Side note: There were tons of books I had never even heard of!

Neat link! I've read 70, and I haven't heard of a bunch of those, either!

You're doing better than me. I've only read 30, although I've read parts of many others.

I'll have to save this list for inspiration. Thanks!
