FAMeulstee reading from various 1001 lists

Started this thread at 25 April 2019

The last years I try to include some 1001 books in my reading.
My main focus is on the Dutch version, but I also read books listed in others. Some older classics like Ilias and Decamerone can be found in the Swedish version.

English list: 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die
Dutch list: 1001 boeken die je gelezen moet hebben!
Swedish list: 1001 böcker du måste läsa innan du dör

At the moment my total is 120 books since I joined LT in 2008, they can be found in my library in the "1001 books" collection.

>15 FAMeulstee: Congratulations on reaching 200! Well done.

>17 puckers: >18 Henrik_Madsen: Thank you, puckers and Henrik.

Keeping this list has helped to read more 1001 books.
When I started here I had read 120 books of the lists, two years later I reached 200 :-)

Congratulations on 200! It’s good to have somebody else in the group who reads from the Dutch edition. I sometimes do as well.

>20 annamorphic: Thank you, annamorphic.
The only annoying part of the Dutch edition is that there are some books listed that are not available in Dutch translation :-(

I believe that there is one Dutch book in the English edition that is not available in English translation -- Geur der droefenis. I read it when we had the group challenge that every book on the list needed to be read by at least one member of the group. That one was not one of my favorites, to be honest.

>22 annamorphic: Looking at the editions at LT, there is an English translation: Smell of Sadness (7 times catalogued, no ISBN, so it isn't recent).

I might get to Kossman one day, but it isn't anywhere near the top of mount TBR.
