1001

Lately I've been catching up on my Google Reader which is so, so awesome! Today I came across 1001 books and movies I supposedly should read/see before I die. This is in tune with the 1001 places I should visit before I die and makes me wonder if I should attempt the three in unison. Most likely not.

Here are the books I've read from the said list:

• The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time – Mark Haddon
• The Poisonwood Bible – Barbara Kingsolver
• The God of Small Things – Arundhati Roy
• Memoirs of a Geisha – Arthur Golden
• Silk – Alessandro Baricco
• The Passion – Jeanette Winterson
• Beloved – Toni Morrison
• To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee
• Tess of the D’Urbervilles – Thomas Hardy
• The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn – Mark Twain
• Little Women – Louisa May Alcott
• Jane Eyre – Charlotte Brontë
• Sense and Sensibility – Jane Austen

I'm surprised at so few, but then again I enjoy more non-fiction and memoirs than fiction. I saw a lot of Jeanette Winterson on there. She is one of my favorite authors; I just haven't read all her books. There were several books on there that I own, just haven't gotten around to reading them yet. I have The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles, Bleak House, All Quiet on the Western Front and The Woman in White on my night stand. There just hasn't been enough hours in the day lately.
