If you want a collection of tangible activities and ideas to help enrich your life, this is a take it or leave it book. If you ask me, this book is a combination bucket list/self-help book. Many of the 2,001 "things to do before you die" are not really things to "do" at all, at least not to the average reader who invests in a book like this. For example, the last 5 items in this book are as follows:

- Buy this book.
- Count up everything in these pages you've already done.
- Have one original thought.
- Contribute to world peace.

I was looking more for places to visit, landmarks to see, things to witness, things to try; in short, something maybe a little more exotic as a whole. Dane Sherwood almost made this book as if he wanted you to be more conscious of little things you could... read more
