501 Must-Read Books

501 Must-Read Books (edited by Emma Beare) is a list of books from differing genres, spanning hundreds of years of history. I bought this book, along with the companion journal, three or four years ago with the intent of broadening my reading horizons. According to the slipcover:

501 Must Read Books is like the wisest, cleverest, best-read and most trusted friend you have ever had. The recommendations for inclusion in this comprehensive book were made by a bibliophile and writer with a peerless reputation. This comprehensive guide will inspire you to read more widely than you could have imagined and to explore the previously untrodden aisles in your bookstore or library.

I realize that I’ll probably never be able to read all 501 books on this list, but I’d like to achieve at least half of the list. The list is published below. The ones I have put in bold are ones I have read. Those marked “*” are ones that I own. Thanks to Listology for publishing the list and saving me having to type it out for myself.
