Ever wondered what to do with the rest of your life? Would you like someone else to tell you? Like to travel but don’t know where to go? Read any one of these books for more advice than you ever thought about wanting!

1000 Places to See before You Die was an early entry into the “list of things you must do/see before you leave the earth.” This book has nice pictures and good information about the entries. A couple more travel-based books are Unforgettable Places to See before You Die, 100 Things You Must Do before You Die: Travel Events You Just Can’t Miss, and 1001 Natural Wonders You Must See before You Die

1001 Books You Must Read before You Die sounds nice, but it actually stirred up a little controversy. See this article in the New York Times. What books do you think should be included but aren’t? Which ones do think should not have been included?

If you run out of movies to watch, flip through this book: 1001 Movies You Must See before You Die. Maybe you’ve always wanted to know what gardens or artwork to see or what golf courses you need to play, just check out one of these books: 1001 Gardens You Must See before You Die, 1001 Paintings You Must See before You Die, or 1001 Golf Holes You Must Play before You Die.

If, in the end, you don’t want someone else to tell you what you need to do before you die, make a list like the ones Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson made in the movie The Bucket List. Just in case you haven’t figured it out, a “bucket list” is a list of things you’d like to do before you “kick the bucket.” You can customize it! Maybe there aren’t 1001 items on it, but it would be your own.
