As of today I have read 50 of the 1001 books to read before you die! Well actually 51 since I read two short stories… but of course the exciting milestone is 50!

In case you’re curious my 50th ‘book’ (actually a short story) was The Turn of the Screw by Henry James and 51 was Michael Kohlhaas by Heinrich von Kleist. I haven’t determined my ratings yet for these two but once I do I’ll update that page!

Now I’m moving on to Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, while also reading a wonderful non-1001 book – Autobiography of a Yogi (I highly recommend it based on the 30% my Kindle tells me I’ve read so far). I’m secretly excited for the waiting at the airport and my flight this weekend just so I can read more of Autobiography of a Yogi!
