Love these pics 😊💕📚

At this rate it will take me 35 years to complete my lifetime reading plan. Good thing I started now 😱

Having a child has made me do what the passing of years could not and I have started to follow a lifetime reading plan. I am primarily following the Guardian's 1000 books list, but of course that doesn't cover poetry, drama, essays, short stories and non-fiction. (I worry less that it is anglocentric.) So I will have to supplement it from other sources like Fadiman's Lifetime Reading Plan, the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die, etc. #1001books

1. Self explanatory. 😀
2. A box of books, a magnum of red wine, and several pounds of dark chocolate.
3. Pumpkin fan, within reason.
4. Tender is the Night, Saint Maybe, and My Man Jeeves.
5. The ability to read, speak, and understand any language. Or fly. 😀

I read electronic, and audio, and print books. I read while I eat, cuddle a cat, soak in the tub, in bed, in a chair, - anywhere I can, in other words. I get most of my print books second hand, as I rarely have the need to get the newest thing out. I like books that have stood the test of time. I get many of my books from Project Gutenberg, and my library books through Overdrive. #readinghabits #jubilantJuly @RealLifeReading

I'M LIVING FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!

Such a great find at my favorite used bookstore. Can't wait to read it!

Clifton Fadiman wrote this book around 36 years ago and it's been revised a couple of times. It takes over 100 great writers, gives profiles, defines the flavor, selects the best books, and gives you a rationale as to why to read them. Do take this journey. I've been on it 28 years now.
