I've put off formulating a list long enough for this goal. It is hard to narrow down a list, but I didn't want to set the book goal higher as I have so many other projects going on. I tried to vary this list with some new books that don't appear on other long terms list and I went with all pre-1900 books for this. I also excluded books I have already started.
Yikes, typing 2018 was a little scary. That seems so far, yet I know it will be upon me before I know it. (After I typed 2019, just add 5 to 4...but forgot the Jan-Dec issue.)
