reading challenges

I love to be read piles, lists and reading challenges in general. I own numerous books along the '1001 books to read before you die' ilk along with loadsa lists off the Internet that I found intriguing.
I've decided to list these personal challenges to myself here. For each challenge I'll try to put a list up of the books involved. Any in blue I've reviewed for the blog, italics I've read but I'm planning to reread, bold 've read but never again (On the road shall never darken my reading time ever again) or I just can't bring myself to read it (the Da Vinci code)
I don't like giving myself a time limit as I never know what I'll be in the mood to read next. I've listed original sources wherever possible and info of any Internet challenges that go alongside my own challenges.
Let me know if your reading any of the same books or challenges. I'd love to hear from you all.
