I just joined LT, but I've been purposely working on 1001 since my husband gave me the book when it came out. I'll document my progress here.
I was somewhat dismayed by the removal of about 60 books I've already read from the original list, but I'm going to keep them in my list, and mark them with an asterisk. I do agree that many of the books removed were not worthy of inclusion, but also can't understand why others were removed (The Brothers Karamazov for example.
My first entries will be books I've already read, which I haven't yet counted. To the extent I can remember, I'll also note when I read each book.
Here goes:
1. Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe, 1970's
2. Moll Flanders, Daniel Defoe, 1980's
3. Gulliver's Travels, Jonathan Swift, 1960's
4. Clarissa, Samuel Richardson, 1969
5. Tom Jones, Henry Fielding, 1966
6. The Vicar of Wakefield, Oliver Goldsmith, 1970's
7. Tristram Shandy, Laurence Sterne, 1970's
8. Humphry Clinker, Smollet, 1960's

11. Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen, 1970's

13. Emma, Jane Austen, 1970's
14. Persuasion, Jane Austen, 1970's
15. Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen, 1970
16. Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, James Hogg, 1960's
17. Last of the Mohicans, James Fennimore Cooper, 1970's
18. The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Victor Hugo, 1960's
19. Eugenie Grandet, Honore Balzac, 1970's
20. Le Pere Goriot, Honore Balzac, 1970's
21. Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens, 1970's
22. *Nicholas Nickleby, 1990's (If the purpose of the deletions is to include only Dickens' best, I agree with this removal).
23. Lost Illusions, Honore Balzac, 1995
24. The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas, 2003
25. Vanity Fair, William Thackeray, 1970's
26. Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte, 1960's, reread 2x

362. Santa Evita by Tomas Eloy Martinez 4/10
It's not clear how much of this book is fact and how much is fiction. It is, however, an engrossing recreation of the life and death of the mythical Eva Peron. In particular, it focuses on the sixteen years following her death during which her perfectly preserved body was missing.

I was just feeling really intimidated by your numbers for a sec then (I'm aiming for 200 by the end of the year). Then I re-read your first post which has when you read them - made me feel a bit better : )
Can I ask why you disliked Cry, the beloved Country so much?

Actually I loved Cry the Beloved Country. I gave it 5 stars in my review on my 75 book challenge thread. The 1/10 is the date I read it (Janauary, 2010). Sorry for the confusion. I didn't mean to lead anyone astray. :)
I've been following your thread, and you are racing through the list! I've read far fewer than 200 since the list came out, but I have the advantage of age. lol.

I was pleased to see I've read 29 of the above 36. I also agree with most of the removals, even though they include some books I love very much.

I was kind of lax in working in list books at the beginning of the year and as a result had a bit of a mad rush to get some done by the end of the year. Here's to both of us making room for list books in our reading in 2017!
