I have combined several lists of "must-read" books from many different sources and the following is my "bucket list" for reading.... Of course, I will always be throwing in a few other books as well.... While this list is numbered, it does not indicate the order in which I will tackle these books..nor do I have a time frame for when I expect to finish these. I am not planning on locking myself away in order to finish this monster list...I still expect to sing karaoke (aka SingStar..the greatest game ever invented), go to concerts, workout and do many other things however on my way to and fro these will be in my "library." I pulled this list of books from The Modern Library's 100 Best Nonfiction Books (Both Reader's List and Board's List), American Foreign Service Reading List, Modern Library 100 Best Novels (both Board and Reader's List), the BBC Top 100 Books (or Big Read), Time Magazine All-Time 100 Novels, New York Public Library Books of the Century, Entertainment Weekly (The New Classics 100 best reads from 1983-2008). and the Harvard Book Store's staff favorite 100.
How did I come about this list? Well, I decided it would be best to pull from several sources and topics. It is easy to read what you want to and if you notice there is no Vince Flynn (inside joke...if you are a fan....I'm sorry....). Anyway, as I was saying... It is hard to educate yourself if you are familiar with the topic already. This list will certainly not be easy to complete but I think it will be great to gnaw away at it one or two books at a time. OH, and the list would be much longer however I have actually read a few books on these lists...that list will be posted later, mainly just to prove I have read more than picture books and also in case you find the lists interesting.
I am currently reading book number 376: The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Sozhenitsyn. This book was only recently removed from the banned books in Russia. It's actually a collection of three books however only one is listed on this list (I will read all three....so my list should be about 744 books long...that is if I haven't repeated books 20 times..I actually hope I have so that the list will be dramatically shorter).
Anyway excerpt from the book:
"Indeed, only a revolutionary has slogans on his lips that are crying to be uttered aloud; and where would the uninvolved, peaceable average man come by such slogans? He simply does not know what to shout. And then, last of all, there is the person whose heart is too full of emotion, whose eyes have seen too much, for that whole ocean to pour forth in a few disconnected cries. As for me, I kept silent for one further reason: because those Muscovites thronging the steps of the escalators were too few for me, too few! Here my cry would be heard by 200 or twice 200, but what about 200 million? Vaguely, unclearly, I had a vision that someday I would cry out to the 200 million."
