50 Books to Read Before You Die Bookmark

I got this metal bookmark a few years ago with a list of 50 books to read before you die. I keep meaning to finish the list. Sometimes I have chosen the wrong book (I read War and Peace instead of Anna Karenina) or the wrong author (Men without women by Haruki Murakami instead of Ernest Hemingway) but I am well over halfway now. Will definitely finish before I turn 50 next September!
