180 Books to Read by 2015

ell, I've done it. I've deleted the list of 180 Books to Read by 2015 that had sat on the side of my blog for so many years. The original list came about when I finally catalogued our library, and made a list of the 180 books we owned (mostly) that I still hadn't read.

Have I now read all the books? No. But there are extenuating circumstances, I swear! Mainly, of course, we moved, and many of these books are now in storage far, far away.

Of course, for some of them, there is no excuse, as I could be reading the e-book version. I've added a new list below the 180 of "Books from the 180 that I still want to read". The ones I haven't brought, I'll have to find e-versions of.

This post is text heavy -- if you'd rather skip it, my previous post has photos of France! And feel free to skip over the German and Turkish and French titles.
