  1. I was wondering how you came up with this list. It's really diverse. Do you feel like you're on track?

    1. Sorry I am just now replying to this! The notification of it just came to my attention. Anyway, how I created the list: not very scientifically. Some are books that had been on my TBR forever that I felt like I needed a push to read. Some are classics that I should've read at some point but hadn't. Some are just books that at the time I made the list I really wanted to make sure I read and I had space for them.
      As far as progress: I've pretty well given up and stopped tracking and referring to the list mid-2015. I was just too far behind to finish the list in 5 years. That said there are at least 4 other books I could cross off as having read since last I looked at it so it may be influencing my reading subconsciously!
