[1001 Books To Read Before You Die Updated
Laurice Whack
Every two years, a new edition of the 1001 books you must read before you die list is out. Every time, those of us who tries to work through the list, is anxiously awaiting to see how the new additions and removals will influence our percentage of finished books.
The new edition was published on October 1st and so far, we know for sure that 11 new books have been added to the list and 1 book that previously has been on the list but was removed, has been put back on. We also know which 12 books have made the cut.
Now, considering the price of books nowadays (including eBook prices), there was no way I was going to be able to afford more than 900 books brand new. So, I opted to buy them secondhand and/or find them at the local library. If, however, a book is so freaking good that I know it will be worth buying it brand new and having it take up space in my home library, I will.
For discerning bibliophiles and readers who enjoy unforgettable classic literature, 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die is a trove of reviews covering a century of memorable writing.
