I can't say that this will be the definitive list of books one should read before they die. I generally abhor most literature that comes from self inflated academia-folk...but these are the ones that I've read before I die. It will be a list in the running, as I won't even come close to 1,001 for half a lifetime. Arranged alphabetically by author.
