From : 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die: A Comprehensive Reference Source, Chronicling the History of the Novel Preface by Peter Ackroyd, General Editor Peter Boxall http://www.listology.com/list/1001-books-you-must-read-you-die

Ok so I apparently have read 47 of the books in the list (and I'm counting those I didn't finish haha) which means I still have to read... 943, yay! But I don't think I will follow this list, I think it focuses way too much on "modern" literature and has too many books by the same authors while it lacks a lot of classics, in my humble opinion! ;) Anyway, I should really try to finish everything I start reading.
