Don’t you ever get annoyed by those 1,001 things? 1,001 books to read before you die, for example; and my pet peeve, 1,001 places to visit before you die. These things are so annoying because I really want to do all these things but somehow, something always get in the way. My favorite excuse is ‘I don’t have time’ to do all those stuff when what I really mean is ‘I don’t have enough money to buy all those books nor travel to all those places’.
Which is why, if you will notice to the right of your screen, I have placed some of the more catchier ads I’ve seen on travel at cj.com. Try clicking one of those ads and see what happens. None? Try clicking them again. Keep trying until you get it right. They’re not really there so I can make some money out of you lost folks. They’re there to motivate me to save enough so I can go to the places these ads promise.
Like going on a romantic cruise for example. Just the thought of spending a few nights on a modern boat (with enough life jackets for everyone) makes me wish that I have money growing on trees.
Or deliberately getting lost in the subways of New York, wanting to see with my own eyes the awesome things that my New Yorker friends claim that they’ve seen in this underground madness. Then go to Flushing Meadows– home of the US Open.
Of course I’d have to visit London. Got to SW19 and have my photo taken munching grass not that I entertain any thought of becoming part of the London Zoo.
Oh well, I think I’ve daydreamed long enough. it’s time for me to rest.

To help soothe your frustrations and actually help you get somewhere with the 1001 books list, there’s a brand new version of Arukiyomi’s 1001 books spreadsheet. Along with some cool new features, there are lists of both the revised 1001 books and those that were removed.
To get your free copy of the spreadsheet, head over to Arukiyomi’s blog.
Happy reading!
