Add to my lists | Print this list

I’m sick of looking at the 1001 lists knowing I’ll never get 100%, purely because I will quit before ever picking up another Jane Austen book again. I’m also tired of having 20 odd lists that have different AllConsuming id for the same book, so ever time I read a list book I have to wade through 100 pages of lists, just to make sure it gets checked off. So this is the combined list of all my book lists, edited down to exclude those I absolutely refuse to read.
