According to the '1% Well-Read Challenge', I'm already about 5% well-read, but that's not to say that the 1001 Novels to Read Before You Die is the be all and end all.  In fact, given that it only contains fiction and a dispproportionate quantity of 20th century fiction at that, it's rather a lop-sided list.  Also it's a list according to one person's taste and not to be taken that seriously (esp as it's been recently up-dated deleting many older works in favour of some written within the last few years - considered classics already, huh??), so here's my own:

The Bible 

At the end of 2008, I'd read through the complete scriptures 11 times in 5 different versions, with one more nearing completion, and started working through 1 more 'New Testament', (better called 'Christian Greek Scriptures'), which I will probably fill in the Hebrew text ('Old Teastament') of later on via on-line reading plans. 

New World Translation: 7 times - easily the best available, 8th in progress: Gen - Deut, current congregation reading (2009-2013) Gen-Deut 27.
