Each record has a string, and a category to it:

This is the firs         


        

Answer 1

Updated for Python 3:

import csv

with open('file.csv', newline='') as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f)
    your_list = list(reader)

print(your_list)

Output:

[['This is the first line', 'Line1'], ['This is the second line', 'Line2'], ['This is the third line', 'Line3']]
