After reading a daily supplement in the Guardian newspaper entitled "1000 Novels Everyone Must Read", I realised that, as a keen bibliophile AND English literature graduate, I had read (in my opinion) a shamefully small amount of the recommended 1000. Therefore, this blog will track my journey as I attempt to read the remainder of the 1000 novels, hoping to be enlightened, enthralled and empowered along the way.
