stephsk8r's "Project Fill-in-the-Gaps"

Add to my lists | Print this list

Moonrat from Editorial Ass, inspired by her friend Andromeda Romano-Lax, made a list of 100 books she wants to read to fill in some of the gaps in her coverage of "classics and great contemporary fiction." I think it’s a great idea, so I did the same. The time limit is five years, and there is "25% accident forgiveness," which means that if you finish 75% of the titles on the list, you’re considered to have completed the challenge.

Please join me by making your own list. I’d love to see what a "bests of these lists" comparison looks like.
