I just hope microsoft is still around 40 years from now, when I complete the list!<br /><br />In truth, there a bunch of books that I either already own or have intention of owning/reading soon-ish that are on the list (I'm currently looking for a good used copy of The Satanic Verses by Salaman Rushdie).<br /><br /> My email addy is everexpandinglibrary@gmail.com<br /><br />Thanks, Lezlie!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859073970689240250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-89272894206130176582009-09-15T17:53:10.904-05:002009-09-15T17:53:10.904-05:00Jackie ~ The list came from the book 1001 Books Yo...Jackie ~ The list came from the book 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die, of which there is now a second edition with an updated list. So now there are actually a lot more than 1001 Books if you want to read both lists in their entirety. I'd be happy to email you the interactive Excel spread sheet that has the whole list if you'd like!<br /><br />LezlieLezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-4247617407902349432009-09-15T15:55:19.370-05:002009-09-15T15:55:19.370-05:00That is one imposing list!

I suppose there is only so much we can all fit in. Bummer. :-) Next year I will plan my non-fiction a little more carefully! I, too, get lost in all the philosophy books. If in your studies you learn some good places for a novice to begin, please let me know! In the meantime, your plan looks as good as any I've seen. Also, you might want to check out The Teaching Company (www.teach12.com). They have fabulous lecture "courses" on philosophy and many other subjects that I often listen to in the car during commutes.<BR/><BR/>I've barely made a dent in the 1001 list, but I've been very happy with the experience so far.<BR/><BR/>LezlieLezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-61627722133346270532008-02-26T11:13:00.000-06:002008-02-26T11:13:00.000-06:00Hey Lezlie,I am so grateful for your comment for c...Hey Lezlie,<BR/><BR/>I am so grateful for your comment for cheering me on my reading challenge! :) I am so happy that someone actually cares about it! Your 1001 Novels Before Your Die is indeed very interesting!! By the way next year is going to be my first year in university which I am studying philosophy! So I am really interested to read philosophical books but I am somehow too confused where to start since there are tons of books about philosophy. I would love to receive advice since you are more experienced than me :D<BR/><BR/>best regardsBarett Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08591584911686432363noreply@blogger.com
