Real life, life at last laid bare and illuminated—the only life in consequence which can be said to be really lived—is literature.

About

The 100 Greatest Books Challenge is all about my personal confrontation with the greatest literary minds throughout history (supposedly). I will be wrestling with 100 books straight off the list found at thegreatestbooks.org. My lifespan permitting, I will read each and every one and then throw myself a pie party. For more details, check out one of the introductory pages from April 2013 or the "About" section of the menu.
