Just a note. I’ve lost faith in our cause and as a result I see no reason to continue blogging. It’s clear progressives have had a huge mistake and the American people are hurting because of our actions and policies.

We should be ashamed.

These dang intertubes have kind of wrecked book-reading for me. I’ve read a few of the books on your list; nowhere near 40 though.

I generally like nonfiction better than fiction, so I’m pretty illiterate when it comes to the “classics.” I have a huge collection of books I’ve bought and never gotten around to reading. Someday…

Lists really are tricky things, I did a quick count and I claim to have read 40 of your list, which amazed me considering I haven’t read fiction for many years, but I have been reading for almost 60 years. Shakespeare I find hard to read, but a joy to watch. Biographies are my choice to read, not just of people, for example, The History Of An Equation E=MC2, and a Biography Of Salt, and its impact on world history. Whatever you read, enjoy.
