A short while ago Carlos over at Neuromancer wrote a blog post detailing his Ten Books You Should Have Read, and then asked for suggestions from other people. I went one louder and wrote my own list, and then twisted his arm until he published it as a guest post.
You can read my list here, along with some rather nice comments and a plug for Blogstronomy: TeaKayB’s Ten Books You Should Have Read.
EDITED to add:
Here's Jennie's list: 10 Books you Should Read
Are there any that you agree with? Or disagree with? Which books have we, collectively, missed off our lists that should in your opinion have made an appearance? Carlos would like to know for a future post!
I think everyone could write their own list, and each person would have very different contents and very different reasoning. Often a particular book will resonate with you at one point in your life, when if read 10 years before or after, it may not have done. I may well compile my own list. I fear however that it will not be as intellectually weighty as either yours or Carlos'.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if everyone was interested enough in reading to write their own list!
ReplyDeleteDo it! Write your own and bung it on your blog. Or mine. Or possibly Carlos's. Whatever you feel like!
What Tom said... any ideas are welcome!
