More and more, we are a nation of list-makers, from grocery lists, New Year’s resolutions, and things to do before we die to DVDs to rent and people we’ve kissed. In To-Do List (Simon & Schuster) (based on the popular blog of the same name, todolistblog.com) Sasha Cagen celebrates the humble to-do list, exploring the ways these scribbled agendas reflect our personalities and passions.

To-Do List is both a celebration of lists and a peek at the lists that others create. Broken down by subjects like “Daily Lists” to “Sex Lists,” it’s a fascinating collection of lists from everyday people to the well-known.

With each list, Cagen offers the story behind it and a prompt for readers to compare notes and take their own stab at a similar list. Voyeuristic and interactive, To-Do List will show you just how much — and what — your lists say about you. Take a peek inside with these excerpts.

“Other people’s to-do lists can be endlessly fascinating – but pinpointing exactly why isn’t always easy. . .”–UK Independent
