What's this about?

I'm reading the greatest works of literature in the history of the world. And a whole bunch of other crap. And writing about it here. Here's the list, if you care to join me. Yes, I am reading all of the books in all of those lists. At the current rate it will take me about 40 years. If a review has 'Reading Journal Entry' in front of it, that means it is just something I am reading for fun, and it is not on the list.
