This is an ambitious list, and it makes me jealous. I doubt I’ll have the time to get to half the books I hope to read. Nevertheless, your list inspired me to make one of my own. I’m hoping that having written it down will make me more accountable! Thanks for sharing!

I don’t know if you allow yourself crossovers, but your Arrowsmith by Sinclair Lewis in the books about Science category could also count for your Nobel list. In fact Lewis was the first US write to with the Nobel for literature. Arrowsmith is a great book. For other Lewis think about Main Street, Dodsworth, and Babbitt.

Wow, there are some incredible titles in this bunch! I’m usually a big fan of the Pulitzer picks, myself. Gone with the Wind, Confederacy of Dunces and Kavalier and Clay are three of my all time favorites. Enjoy!

You have read so many more books than me that I always get excited when I see ones that I’ve read and you haven’t (yet). I’m especially thinking of Gone with the Wind and Schindler’s List.

Can’t wait to talk to you about them, and many many others.

I love how you’ve done this!

I’m discovering that perpetual projects (note I am not using the word “challenge”) suit me much, much better.

In that regard, the lists I’ve made for those projects are similar to yours.

You have many great titles here. I know they are subject to change, but I hope you can get to many of the ones listed.

Several on that list that I have read, want to read, and plan to read! I placed a large order at amazon today for a couple of books I want to read but the hold list at my library just never seems to go down on them. One of them is Jellicoe Road. Great way to lay out your goals. Good luck!

What a lovely way to list what you want to read this year! Good luck on your challenges, you have some very interesting books to read. I’m not sure how I’m going to organize my goals for this year yet.
