Los 1001 libros...

Me gustan las listas. Me encantan los libros. Tentador pasar por Listology, echarle una ojeada a los 1001 libros que uno debe leer antes de morir y determinar cuántos de esos ya leí.
El origen del listado es “1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die: A Comprehensive Reference Source, Chronicling the History of the Novel” Preface by Peter Ackroyd, General Editor Peter Boxall
La elección de los textos es discutible, pero igual jugué a ver cuantos leí. Soy una lectora compulsiva (Seguro que en mi vida leí más de mil textos) así que supuse que unos cien, al menos, debería tener en mi haber. Tras recorrer dos veces la lista para no olvidar nada, el resultado fueron 66 obras. No está del todo mal.
