(Original Review, 2010-04-18)I found this list rather heavy on very recent fiction. There is also no way of knowing whether books published a few years ago will withstand the test of time, and I suspect many won´t. This is a reason why, apart from a handful of favourites, I tend to restrict my (sadl...
After reading this (yes, the whole book) I created my own list of 1001 books to read before I die, compiled from the classics and some newer popular titles (to replace the ones it looked like it was going to be impossible to get ahold of). I wrote it a few years ago and I've read 200 or so of the ...

First of all, don't tell me what I "must" do before I die.Just fuck off. At fellow reader's behest, I'm writing my reactions to this list (not really the book, but give me a break - the book is just a bunch of pretty pictures and blurbs defending their idiotic choices). What's important is this shit...
I gave this to my mother as a Christmas present and we enjoyed it so much she got me my own copy.
