2025 T-minus 100 books Reading List Public

Created by Caffeinated Book Dragon

This is my list of books I hope to get through by the end of 2025. My goal is to knock out those with the oldest publication dates (& have been on my shelf for decades) first then work my way to present, at least 1 book per shelf (got 60 shelves), alternating between fiction & nonfiction as I go. I'm so far behind I'll never die.

I did the calculations & as some books are short reads that may take 2 days, others are doorstops that'll take 2 weeks. I will need to read a minimum of 100 pgs a day if I have any hope of meeting my goal. It's gonna be a slog because my focus has sucked this year, but I want to read my books again and need to retrain my focus, so this will be worth a shot.
