1001 bøker


Boka 1001 bøker du må lese før du dør er et uuttømmelig skattekammer for alle som er glad i litteratur. Oppslagsverket gir en fin introduksjon til mange gode forfatterskap og bokstavelig talt hundrevis av tips til uforglemmelige leseopplevelser. Mange av mine absolutte favoritter står omtalt i denne boka, og jeg er sikker på at enda flere lykkestunder venter blant bøkene.

Nedenfor finner du listen over alle bøkene som nevnes i oppslagsverket. Jeg har markert bøkene jeg har lest med sort skrift. For øyeblikket har jeg lest 109 bøker på lista. Det er jeg mektig stolt av! Og selv om noen av bøkene kommer og går på listen, så har jeg lest dem og da teller de. Og dermed basta!

I 2016 har jeg lest følgende bøker på 1001-listen:

  • Marina Lewycka: A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian
  • Trumann Capote: In Cold Blood 
  • Umberto Eco: The Name of the Rose
  • Imre Kertész: Uten skjebne
  • Jules Verne: En verdensomseiling under havet
