For Father's Day, one of my gifts (along with Tim Harford's new book) was a poster. On it are depicted 100 'bucket list books' for reading. I've read some of them already, but not very many. If I use official records (i.e. Goodreads since 1/1/11) then the official tally is nine, as follows:
- Notes from a Small Island
- Murder on the Orient Express
- The Great Gatsby
- The Old Man and The Sea
- To Kill a Mockingbird
- Animal Farm
- Nineteen Eighty Four
- The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat
- The Catcher in the Rye.
I have definitely read some more before then (Hitchhiker, Baskervilles, Freakonomics) but will go with this basis for recording, and start scratching off covers.
Will be interesting to see how I get on.
