Awesome Scratch-Off Poster Keeps Track Of What Books You’ve Read

At first glance, this is an 18″ x 24″ poster with gold colored book titles.

Upon closer inspection, you see that the title of the poster is “100 Essential Novels” and that the layer of gold on each book cover is actually made to be scratched off. Some of the literary classics this interactive reading list recommends include: “Fahrenheit 451,” “Animal Farm,” “To Kill A Mockingbird,” “Lolita” and “Gone With The Wind.”

The cost is $35 from Pop Chart Lab. Once you’ve read all 100 classics, the poster looks pretty neat framed, no?

Each print is is pressed on 100-lb. archival stock, and they’ll begin shipping August 12th. This would be a great gift for the book-lover in your life, as well as any young minds looking for reading recommendations.

Here’s the before/after look:

Now that’s pretty cool, isn’t it?
