southernbohemian's "I Can't Possibly Live Long Enough to Read All of This"

Add to my lists | Print this list

In 2000 I started keeping a list of books that I would like to read. Unfortunately, for every one that I completed, I usually added five more, so the list has ballooned quite a bit over the last seven years. In the past I’ve been able to average around 50-70 books a year, but since I’ve had my son, that rate has dropped considerably. If I never added another book to this list I’d probably be finshing it up sometime in my 80s. But even as I added stuff I thought of other books that weren’t on the list yet, hence the title. I decided to put the list on here partly to motivate myself and partly to be able to access the list from any computer. Thanks for checking out my crazy list.

Wow, what a list, and I see you are only on the “L’s”. It’s very humbling for me as I don’t read much non-fiction. Thanks for spending all the time….
