1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die  ..Peter Boxall

It’s a list. It’s a long list. I had already gone through the children’s version of this book, so I had some idea of what I was up against. These books are really not reading material as they reference material. The good thing about these books is a way to add to my wish list. There are far too many titles here to attempt, but I do like the easy format and layout of these volumes. You can scan quickly and read the short synopses and make decisions. As in the children’s volume, there are many titles that are just not very available to us in the US. There are many titles that are quite old, including some in the 1400’s and earlier. Others are foreign titles that have not made the translation. Whatever you may be looking for, this is a good start.
