Darla's 600 Before 60

I have seen a lot of lists of 500 before 50 but I am 59 - so decided to do a 600 before I turn 60 next June. I did not include on this list the hundreds of romance novels I read in college - be grateful. LOL. I don't have a favorite genre - I like all books. I have completed the PBS Great American Read. I have a wonderful daughter that creates lists of the most rated books on Good Reads and I have completed the top 200 and hope to complete up to the top 300 by June next year. The rest of the books are compiled from my childhood through high school, college, book clubs and yes a few romance novels that stood out. Enjoy and wish me luck that I can finish the 98 unread books on this list before next June.
