100 böcker man ska läsa innan man dör?

Som litteraturvetare så går man ständigt runt i den där känslan av att man har läst så sanslöst mycket, så man i alla fall borde ha klarat av det mesta inom kanon. Men desto mer man läser, desto mer verkar det dyka upp. Så när jag kom över en lista på 100 böcker man bör ha läst, ja, då kunde jag inte låta bli att testa mig själv. Understrykna allt jag har hunnit med, i övrigt... sånt jag ska hinna med.

Okej, endast 37 lästa, lite pinsamt. Och vet inte riktigt om det räknas om man sett filmerna... Eller att flera av böckerna står olästa därhemma...
