50 books read so far. Now only another 951 to go...

For anyone looking at my list the books in italics are 'currently reading' and the bold are 'read'. Everything else is some form of to-read.

Great work Jonathan! Most of these books are highly praised by book critics. I've read some of them and would follow others one by one.

How're you doing?

Wow only 951 to go! Fantastic.

I was surprised by how many I'd read over the years. They certainly do add up. Still plenty more reading to go but I'm sure I can at least make a dent in the list.
What's great is I have a pile of books waiting to be read and many of them are on the list :D

Wow, good list. I don't know if I could make a list that long, without editing it into oblivion.

Basically I'm taking the 1001 books to read before you die and seeing how many I can read over a long period of time. You can copy the list and post it in similar snippets like Nicolle and I did if you like?

Yep or just stick to one era, or edit out all the ones you just know you don't want to read.

I don't know how you got that many in one post, it tells me that I have overdone my limit of words.

I broke it up into several sections because it forced me to. I had three hundred lines in one post and it was fine and then it wasn't.

But either way I'm loving the fact that Goodreads and its various groups allows me to do things like this. I never would have thought it when I joined up.

Me either. I can't imagine my life bfore Goodreads which shows how addicted I am! At least I don't post my life story on Facebook.

Yes I'm rather a bit more addicted to Goodreads than to Facebook. I hardly use Facebook except as communication with friends.

I don't even have an account...too many people that I don't want to speak to! Plus my best friend doesn't have one so I probably wouldn't bother talking to anyone else on it...except my dad and brother, but I'd probably spend my time trying to annoy them with tons of requests for things. Mwahaha.

I do that very thing on Facebook. As people will/have noticed on Goodreads I tend to try to come up with clever comments for things. So often when I see a status with poor spelling or something I can use I'll come up with some kind of clever comment. Which sometimes backfires...

Well if you're talking about spelling look at post 11...you spelt my name COMPLETELY wrong!!:P

It's late over here so I clame that as my defense. (sic)
Although to be honest I know how it is I have my name misspelt as Jonathon or Johnathan or Johnathon a lot.

I'm not sure if I have ever spelt your name wrong...I have had a few variations:
Nickolle, Nickhole...not sure what was going through these people's minds.

There's another to cross off my list having at last finished Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

I'm a little disappointed that Fahrenheit 451 wasn't on the list. It's a grand book.

I'm going along nicely. Just finished Tarzan. 949 to go.

Wow, keep this pace up and you'll be done before you die (as hinted in the list name!)

Wait - huh? What do you mean Fahrenheit 451 wasn't on the list? Isn't that our 1001 list read for this month?

Edited to say: OH, that's a completely different group. I am so confused... Sorry! LOL!

W..."

Don't worry I get confused myself with all these groups at times. And Nicole hopefully I live for a while then although if I read about one hundred of the books on the list per year I could be done in ten years...

Silas Marner is down for the count.

Do you think you'd actually like all those books though? I wouldn't read all for the sake of it. And I think some may be hard to get hold of.

I would read it for the sake of it. And because I would enjoy most of them. Some books I have read in the past just because critics really liked it and then I have had fodder to throw an angry review at.

Finished 1984. One more down for the count.

Finished Watchmen tonight.

Finished The Handmaid's Tale. There's another novel off the list. 945 to go.

Don't know how you do it!

Well I read whenever I have time. And I make sure I have time. I read on buses and so on. And I stay awake late to make time to read/finish stuff I haven't done because I was reading. If I was going out more and visiting friends I wouldn't get so much reading done but right now books are my friends. Oh and my friends are actually too busy for me sigh...

Finished Neuromancer which was not as cool as some of the others :(

Currently reading Persuasion

Finished Persuasion.

How many are you up to now? I counted 58 bolded titles... is that right? Good grief, you're a reading machine! LOL!

58 would be correct yup.

59 up now with the completion of Brave New World. I plan to read Emma as the next book on this list along with other Austen novels and then maybe some more Le Carre. His espionage novels are great reads.

I have a Le Carre book on my list for July. One you recently reviewed I think - Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

Yup - that's a book that reads like a literary version of eating a stew. It's tender and juicy but it takes some time to cook. Everything boils slowly under the surface and there is a lot of tension but it's very rich and very well written.

I almost forgot that I'd read Emma which is on this and Day of the Triffids. That's two more crossed off the list.

Okay so I've finished Age of Innocence now and have House of Mirth and Titus Groan in my current possession.

I've finished A Clockwork Orange and just realised I had I, Robot not ticked off which I read years ago.

Finished Titus Groan and also All the Pretty Horses which is another addition to the newer list. That brings me up to 68 books from across all the list editions so far. Not too shabby...

Up to 69 with Cloud Atlas now finished. I loved that book!

Sweet!

Up to 70, The Midwich Cuckoos has been read!

I hadn't realised The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time was on the list. That's 71 I've read...
