...but after trying to figure it out and finally googling it I found that this is a book you can buy. Is that a bad thing, no, but to be honest I don’t need a coffee table book with pictures of books and authors, I would be interested to see what the list actually is though…. maybe some more searching… but then again, it is that books authors opinion on what books you must read, kind of like how Oprah can make an author by selecting their book for her book club read… Maybe I’ll put together my own list after I finish reading my Five Foot shelf of Harvard Classics.
