I just discovered this list: National Geographic’s 100 Greatest Adventure Books.
I’ve read only two out of one hundred: Wind, Sand & Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1940) and Kon-Tiki by Thor Heyerdahl (1950). However, I see several books on the list that I’d like to read.

“One of my aims in Life — other than getting a job, swimming with dolphins off the coast of Australia (after I learn how to swim, of course), spending a summer in Provence, going out for dinner with Pierce Brosnan/Johnny Depp/Orlando Bloom/George Clooney (I’d better stop here) — is to introduce Wodehouse to as many people as I can. I want to spread the Wodehousian magic to the ignorant and uninitiated.”

I can think of much worse goals.

Here’s a review of a new translation of The Three Musketeers. I’m planning to read The Three Musketeers to my urchins later this year, actually next spring, so I might check this translation out.

“My teetering piles are composed of books I read about on other blogs, or people mentioned in comments here. My TBR lists grow longer everyday because of blogs. And my reading horizons have grown ever wider. Book bloggers are some of the coolest people I know. —Stephenie at So Many Books.
I agree. THE LIST grows ever longer, and I’m getting most of my book recommendations from other bloggers these days.

Speaking of recommendations, I want one of these books, The American Story by Jennifer Armstrong, reviewed by Chris Barton.
