1% Well-Read Challenge

I came across a very interesting blog called Auxiliary Memory. I admire the author of the blog because he thinks for himself, is well educated, and is very honest about his observations, often expressing the doubts that haunt all of us that sometimes we leave unspoken.

Anyway - one of the things I came across on his blog was a link to the 1% well-read challenge. The gist of it is there's a list out there of 1,001 books to read before you die - so the challenge is to read 1% of that list (10 books) by Feb 28. This sounds like a lot of fun to me so I'm signing up, and will write my thoughts of the books I read from that list on this blog (as well as any other book I read in the meantime!)

There's not much time till Feb 28 (about 6 days per book) but let's give it a shot anyway!

P.S. This is the official list I am using for this challenge (the 2006 version of the list).
