Lists of Bests: SleepyJane's "Books I've Read. Ever." http://www.listsofbests.com/list/51329 This is in conjunction with my "1001 Things To Do Before I Die" list--one of my goals (maybe my first one on the list) is to read 1,000 books. So I guess I'd better start keeping track. This is by no means a comprehensive list; I'm sure I've missed a few. I've excluded books that I read but don't remember very well. I've also excluded works that I've read for class unless I found them particularly memorable or enjoyable.
