I didn't know that Craig Johnson had written that many Longmire books.

If Lord of the Rings isn't in the list, it should be.

Have actually read a bunch of them, and that’s a great list of read/reread for the new year.
Gracias.

Doubt I add to it, library access is.....difficult anymore.
Might read Atlas Shrugged again, it's been awhile. A great read, can't be scared
of the page count.

If we had an education system in this country now...it would have been a done deal.
That said, I would vehemently insist it should be 117 books. The novels of Patrick O'Brian must be included...they are in fact, a compilation or summary, of of every theme of the human condition contained in the first 100 list.

Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Back in high school, in the early 60's, I took a speed reading course. It turned out to be the most useful class I every took. They emphasized not only speed but comprehension and that's all important. I sailed through all the great novels. I liked thick books because they contained more. I judged a book by it's weight.
After 50 years, I've forgotten most of them. I could comprehend them then but 50+ years has taken a toll.
For the record, War and Peace is a great read but to understand it, you have to get the right translation from Russian. Russians have a habit of giving a person a dozen different names depending on who he's talking to. It's very hard to figure out who is who. By luck, I got one of the easy ones. The translator picked one of a person's names and stuck with that one all the way through.

How many recent high school graduates , or even college grads have read many, if any of those works? Anything by jack London is a must read, even his short stories like "To Make A Fire". I didn't see "Animal Farm" in that list but it should also be included.

Good list, knocked out quite a few of them.
Republic by Plato is good but tedious.
I could make additional suggestions but it comes down to taste.
Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and
Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN

I've read more than a few and agree there are very goods ones there, but Ruark and several others not on the list beat Covey every day.

Several of the books I have long considered life changing. Catch 22 by Joseph Heller
and scores of others from my late teens through my 30s. I will copy this post and...
Thank You for posting.
