iphone app Top 1001 Book List
For iPhone users who are also read much, there’s now an iPhone App (coming soon) that shows the top 1001 must read books list. An app based on the bestselling literary reference book “1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die” will soon be available in the Apps store. (feb 29 ?)
Upcoming iPhone App Lists 1001 Must-Read Books
The 1001 Books App is the creation of John aka Arukiyomi. It is being developed in response to comments on John’s book blog asking him to create a native iOS app version of his popular downloadable spreadsheets conveniently listing the contents of the “1001 Books” book.
The source book, edited by Peter Boxall, is essentially a list of 1001 novels, short story collections and other fictional formats chosen and profiled by a number of international literary critics. Although by no means a definitive compilation, it aims to be a guide for avid readers of fiction, as it has long been for John. And soon, with the release of the 1001 Books App, this reading list will be just a few taps away, along with such features as book information links and personalized statistics.
The 1001 Books App is based on all available editions of “1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die.”
As a lifelong book lover, I spend a ridiculous amount of time browsing the classics
