Emily texted me yesterday to ask what book came after Adam Bede. I was at work and didn't have 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die at hand, so I thought, "Hey, the internet!" and went poking around. Turns out there is a website for the 1001 series. Great, right? It even has the list right on there!
NOT.
The list is there, to be sure, but it has been updated. No Aaron's Rod, no L'Abbe C, no The Absentee, et cetera. Basically, nothing that we've read so far! D'oh! I propose we keep going with the list we started with (by gum, it took me forever to read Aaron's Rod and I want credit for it!). So we're working from the list put out in 2006. Why, oh why does such a long list need to be updated almost four years later? Ridiculous.

Yup, I agree with sticking to the 2006 list. We can't jump around to different lists or we will never finish!
ReplyDeleteIn 40 years or so, when we are done with this list, then we can pick a new list and read the ones on there that we haven't read yet! I bet there will be a lot of good books published while we are reading our way through this list.
