\n \u201cThe ultimate literary bucket list.\u201d \u2014The Washington Post

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0
Celebrate the pleasure of reading and the thrill of discovering new titles in an extraordinary book that\u2019s as compulsively readable, entertaining, surprising, and enlightening as the 1,000-plus titles it recommends.<\/p>\n

Covering fiction, poetry, science and science fiction, memoir, travel writing, biography, children\u2019s books, history, and more, 1,000 Books to Read Before You Die ranges across cultures and through time to offer an eclectic collection of works that each deserve to come with the recommendation, You have to read this. But it\u2019s not a proscriptive list of the \u201cgreat works\u201d\u2014rather, it\u2019s a celebration of the glorious mosaic that is our literary heritage.<\/p>\n

Flip it open to any page and be transfixed by a fresh take on a very favorite book. Or come across a title you always meant to read and never got around to. Or, like browsing in the best kind of bookshop, stumble on a completely unknown author and work, and feel that tingle of discovery. There are classics, of course, and unexpected treasures, too. Lists to help pick and choose, like Offbeat Escapes, or A Long Climb, but What a View. And its alphabetical arrangement by author assures that surprises await on almost every turn of the page, with Cormac McCarthy and The Road next to Robert McCloskey and Make Way for Ducklings, Alice Walker next to Izaac Walton.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are nuts and bolts, too\u2014best editions to read, other books by the author, \u201cif you like this, you\u2019ll like that\u201d recommendations , and an interesting endnote of adaptations where appropriate. Add it all up, and in fact there are more than six thousand titles by nearly four thousand authors mentioned\u2014a life-changing list for a lifetime of reading.<\/p>\n

Enormous. Addictive. Engaging. Enlightening. <\/h3>\n

Imagine a library with 1,000 books to represent a lifetime\u2019s reading, with something for every age, interest, and reading appetite. From Margaret Wise Brown\u2019s Goodnight Moon to C. S. Lewis\u2019s A Grief Observed, from The Divine Comedy to The Hitchhiker\u2019s Guide to the Galaxy, from fiction to history, mythology to mysteries, this inspiring volume is a browser\u2019s delight. <\/p>\n

Written by a veteran bookseller with a knack for helping people discover what to read next, it\u2019s nearly a thousand pages of erudition and enthusiasm in one altogether remarkable book. <\/p>\n

Featured books are presented in individual entries, accompanied by rich endnotes offering many additional reading recommendations. <\/h3>\n
