I tweeted a few days ago how much I love reading book lists. It doesn’t seem to matter who makes it or what is covers, I will always stop what I’m doing to read through one. I’m not sure what it is that causes the intrigue, but as I’ve discussed it with others it seems I’m not the only one who loves them. So, in an attempt to consolidate some of the best book lists I’ve found in one easy place, I present to you the following: THE GREATEST LIST OF GREAT BOOK LISTS!!!

This is awesome, I’ll never have to look anywhere ever again for books I should read!!!!!
Thank you so much for doing this- I hate browsing through books wondering if I’m going to be wasting my time & money. This is a fabulous resource and I am going to see if I can bookmark this page of your blog =)
Dude, thanks for making this list. It makes it much easier. Keep workin’ on that stache cowboy hahah.
Thanks for the love, Schaefer.
Great compilation.
The idea of a list of 1000 novels everyone must read is slightly comical though, haha.
As much as I enjoy the journey of learning from book after book, sometimes I really would like to Vulcan mind meld and get other people’s learnings too.
Great idea – thanks a lot. However, I found your list while searching for a list composed by Malcolm X while he was imprisoned? Have you ever heard of such a list?
