Mi sono imbattuta tempo fa, per caso, in questa lista: "50 libri da leggere prima di morire". Oggi l'ho ripresa per condividerla con voi. Tanta la curiosità di vedere a che "quota" sono, quali titoli sono stati scelti, se i miei libri preferiti sono nella lista, oppure no...

La mia Anna Karenina ovviamente c'è, mentre mancano, ma me l'aspettavo, scrittori di culto come Palahniuk o Murakami. A dir la verità manca completamente ogni riferimento alla letteratura giapponese, grave pecca a mio giudizio. "La casa delle belle addormentate" di Kawabata meriterebbe a pieno titolo di essere in questa lista. Ma tant'è... Io sono a quota (solo!!!) 15, e voi?

pochini pochini insomma! mi mancano un sacco di grandi classici... comunque è utile questo elenco, buono a sapersi ^^
se ti piacciono le storie ambientate in inghilterra, inizio '900, un po' stile agatha christie Rebecca la prima moglie te lo consiglio vivamente!!
io invece ho trovato quella (molto più impegnativa) dei 1001 libri! La puoi leggere sul mio blog ;)
