I thought I should official start to list the books I've already read, sadly it's not many. I plan to read quite a few in the coming year to make up for it. I think my snail tracker is rather appropriate as it's going to take a long time, but hopefully it'll be a good time!

I'll add the titles as I read them. I own the 2nd edition of the book, but I'm working off of the three combined lists.

Ugh, i set this up then haven't added the titles I've read. I've got this as one of my categories for 2012, so hopefully I'll read a few more off this list. But first - to add the ones I've read.

It is a very good song, I quite liked the version you had linked :)

Sadly life has got in the way and I've read nothing from the list so far this year. How goes your progress?

It's slow going for me as well. The 1001 challenge isn't a priority for me so I seem to knock out about four a year.
