Lists of Bests: ShysubGirl's "On My Way to 1,000 Books" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/32735 One of my goals is to read 1,000 books. This will eventually be that list. I am of course open to suggestions. I am kind of a surveyor; I want to try to read different kinds of things, great writing, and influential books and authors.
