You Must Read Before You Die

I was in a bookshop on Bond Street in London the one and only time I flipped through 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. I remember prepping myself to have that idea in my head, the idea that I am a slightly well read human being, obliterated. It was. I haven't read a tenth of the list, but I thought then and there that if I did read the list I could still be considered an unaccomplished reader because every reader has their must read and every reader has their white whale.

I could critique the list, but I've already written that I haven't even finished a tenth of the books on the list. Who would take that seriously? So, I was happy to find this critique of the book. This guy fesses up to having read a third of the list. That's pretty damn good.

Music: I purchasized Narrow Stairs, the new Death Cab For Cutie, this week. It is getting a lot of play. That's all I'm going to say.
