Michelle, thank you for visiting! I’m glad to find another like-minded reader. I think I read about the same amount of books as you from the 1001 list when I started, or even less. (Actually I just checked my old post that I read 9 books when I started in 2007!) I have made progress since then, slowly but sure. Look forward to sharing reads with you!

Hey! I love your blog – I can’t wait to follow your reviews of books. I’m also attempting to read the 1001 books..I think I’ve only read 14 so far though. I also created a blog for the purpose of tracking my progress. It’s been really fun so far. Thanks for a great blog and excellent suggestions of books, I can’t wait to read more of your reviews!

Hi Caitie, thanks for visiting! The spreadsheet is great and arukiyomi is a great guy too, he responds well when you have question or problem. He even added the rating column for me (he didn’t include it in the master spreadsheet because the order by rating didn’t work well, but I don’t mind). And I’ve been a follower of his blog and spreadsheet for years so I didn’t mind donating :).

I have After the Quake on my shelf, as with a couple more Murakami books. I’m gonna get to it eventually as I plan to read all his books (I’ve read 4 so far :)

I am so glad to see you are joining this challenge! How is the spreadsheet? I have heard mixed reactions to it. I like that it has all of the books, since I only have the one book to compare it to, but don’t want to donate money and have issues.

After the Quake is fantastic, I am a big fan of Murakami!
