Neetu, Life of Pi is by Yann Martel. Born in Spain & currently living in Saskatoon Sk Canada, my hometown. YOu might like his new illustrated Life of Pi. I can’t wait for his new book The 20th Century Shirt due out next year.

Well — there’s a pretty damn good reason why Shakespeare isn’t on the list — it’s a list of BOOKS. He wrote poetry and plays.

I stopped when I found that none of that written by william shakespeare is included in the list. Above 1001 I recommend “The Guide” written by R K Narayan.

Thanks Neetu! I have always wanted to read War and Peace, and even though Life of Pi isn’t on the list, I’m going to read it soon (I think). I have a copy of it on my shelf and it’s on my brother’s curriculum for English next semester, so I might read it with him.

Thanks for coming by! I didn’t know that you still did

Another good read for a long road trip(since you are planning on taking one soon) is War and Peace I read it on my flight(16 hour flight) to and from India last year and really enjoyed it. I think you would like it based on your list.

You have to add the life of pi it is an amazing book. I just can’t remember the author right now. Have you read the Alcamist?(think that’s how it is spelt)

If you actually buy your books let me know I can help you get some good deals.

Thank you for posting the list in the first place! And Suite Francaise was so beautiful — I only wish she could have finished it! I loved it! An english edition of another one of her books is coming out in the Spring. It’s called David Golder (http://www.randomhouse.ca/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780676979459) and I can’t wait to read it!

Thanks for linking to us. It’s been fun sizing up our collective shortcomings. I was checking out your reading list. I just finished Suite Francaise and loved it.
