1,000 books to read before you die : a life-changing list

Mustich, James. (Author). Mustich, Margot Greenbaum, (author.). Meagher, Thomas, (author.). Templer, Karen, (author.).

Summary: Mustich provides brief (usually one page) introductions to works of fiction, poetry, science and science fiction, memoir, travel writing, biography, children's books, history, and more. Ranging across cultures and through time, this eclectic collection of works is not a proscriptive list of the 'great works' but a celebration of the glorious mosaic that is our literary heritage. Arranged alphabetically by author, the list is a life-changing list for a lifetime of reading. -- Adapted from jacket
