I decided to start keeping track of the books I've read from the list of 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. I won't be actively pursuing reading from this list, but I've already read a few of them. I also have a ton of them on my to-read list and own many of them. Many of the books from the 1800s portion and below are free thanks to Project Gutenberg and are available as free Kindle downloads from Amazon.
