1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die 2006 Edition (1st)

I actually bought the book that this list comes from. It made me realize how little of the classics I have read. I hope to one day to complete this, but some of these are hard to find. Also, many, in my opinion, can be pretty boring (I'm looking at you Villette). With that said, I hope you enjoy it.
