I'm 65. Though my dad is 95, my mom passed away at 75. None of us know how long we will live, of course, but let's average it out and say 85. That's twenty years.
A hundred books a year? I can probably do that.
What will my last 2,000 reads be? I want them to be fantastic reads.
I'm making a list. I'm guided by great book lists like Modern Library's 100 Best Novels and Jim Mustich's 1000 Books to Read Before You Die (seems appropriate).
Here's what I have so far? Do you see any titles here that look like a waste of time? Any suggestions?
