So, because of this I have decided to make my own life list using the guidelines and advice set out in his blog post, which you can read here if at all interested.
I actually only really wanted somewhere to put this list where it would be out of the way so as not to clutter up my room but accessible so I can check on it from time to time, and do any necessary 'pruning'. However, I have been unable to find any good websites for this so it's going on my blog instead, and I thought I'd make a short post about it.
Would love to see what ideas other people come up with!
And without further ado, here is my list (it will also be present on a permanant page where it will be updated. Also, consider it a living, breathing thing as it will forever change - such as more books will be added, but this requires research. I'm not happy with the categories either and will shuffle them around one day):
