1001 Books you must read before you die

A long list of books, with many titles where I've said "I must read that some day". I read a lot more when I was a kid, before I got into this whole computer racket, and started focusing on more non-fiction. I've only read 50 or so from the list. At this rate, I'll never get more than 15% or so.

I wonder how much you can tell about a person from their reading list? Here are the ones I read, I may have missed one or two though:
