Los 1001

Actualmente estoy leyendo de forma muy desorganizada los libros The Losers Club de Richard Pérez; Cábala y Deconstrucción, editado por Esther Cohen; The Show I´ll nevr forget, editado por Sean Manning, y Plainsong de Kent Haruf. En ese ambiente de desórden encontré una vez más el proyecto Los 1001 Libros que debes leer antes de Morir --plasmado en un libro de Peter Boxall, y aunque sigo desconfiando de él, me pareció interesante ver que hay en la lista.
