Since I'm already at it...

Yet another list of books.

I'm currently digging through all those printouts etc which I stuffed into folders years ago and which just languish there, hidden away and of no use to anyone. Among them I found this list of
"110 Books to Read". I have no idea when I printed this, or where I got the whole thing from, but I'll post it here nevertheless. Let's see how much I know from this one.

While typing this I noticed that the list can't be all that old, since some books on it only came out a few years ago. Also, I think I remember where I got this list from, but it's no help, since I don't know where that person got it from. ;)
Anyway, quite an eccentric selection.

What does this tell me?
First, that I know a lot more books than I have actually read. Only to be expected, I think.
Second, that there are loads of intriguing books out there that I would love to read. I've been trying to accept the fact that I'll never be able to read everything I'd like to read over the last few months, so I know...I know.
Third...I'm still far too intrigued by lists like this one. ;)

Do you have lists like this one? Or are there other books you'd highly recommend? (Highly enough so that a girl swamped with Bookcrossing books would be able to squeeze them in?) Please share!
