Top 1001 Fiction Books to Read Before You Die
If you die now (meaning no other book would be coming out), this is the list. If you read a book a week, you can read all of these in a little less than 20 years. Here's the books written this millennium:

haven't read any title from the list.
maybe you should do a list of must-read filipiniana
and must-not-be-read filipiniana
mukhang mas beneficial ang suggestion mo.
go.
I checked the complete list. I'm happy. It includes my all-time favorite, 'The Little Prince'. Someday I'll learn French just to be able to read the book in the original.
is there some special reason you stopped at 69? :-)
No. the author's fault not mine
but then again...
