So Many Books, So Little Time

100 Books on the Bucket List Poster

I started to make a list of the top 100 books to read, but somehow it morphed into 500+ books. That list was way too intimidating. Then I remembered the scratch off posters from last Christmas and that is the list I decided to use. Even better, someone created the list on the List Challenges website, so I didn’t have to type them all out.

Even though I have read a lot of these books before, I am going to read them again. However, there will be books that I won’t enjoy and I have decided that there are so many books available to read that I should concentrate on reading the ones I like. I am not going to read a book just because it is on a list telling me that I should read it. I will continue to make these lists though, because that is what I do.
