My book bucket list


I read about this on Bibliophile by the Sea and loved it! The original idea from Pam at Bookalicio.us was to list your top 10 books that others should read before they die. Lilly at Reading Extravaganza amended it to list the top 10 books that you haven't read but think you should before you die. I like this better because I cannot limit myself to 10 when it comes to recommending books to others, but I think I can manage just 10 for myself.

My list (three of these are on my Fill in the Gaps project list):

1. The Bible
2. Ulysses by James Joyce
3. the complete works of Shakespeare
4. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
5. Meditations of Marcus Aurelius
6. Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
7. The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
8. The Histories by Herodotus
9. The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner
10. John Updike's Rabbit omnibus
