Top 50 Books To Read Before You Die

I love these lists because not only do you occasionally run into a book that you've never heard of before but it also leads to discussions of this sort, "I can't believe they didn't include..." There are many of these lists to be found, here's one:

50 Books to Read Before You Die - How many have you read?

 

I guess I need to read "The Audacity of Hope," because after 6+ years I'm still looking for hope and change.

 

I was pleasantly surprised to see that I've read a lot of those books on the list (maybe half). There are some I'll never read. I don't know that I could force myself all the way through Ulysses. One that I might need to pick up is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. It's appeared on a number of similar lists and is currently a Broadway play.

 

Sorry, mistyped title...ughhh
