1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die er eit litterært oppslagsverk der bøkene er foreslått av litteraturkritikere verda over, og redigert av Peter Boxall (engelskprofessor ved universitetet i Sussex). 2006-utgåva var den første utgåva, og lista er sidan redigert annakvart år. Eg kjem ikkje til å kutte bøker, eg legger heller til.
