Wow. I would personally rename this list "Books guaranteed to cure my insomnia"
As many hundreds of books as I have read, serious ones rarely find their way into my stack. Sure, like bh I am a book-buyaholic, and I have good (snooty) intentions sometimes, but of that Newsweek list...???
Apart from the Bible, I saw few on there that I read by choice. A few were "read" with a TOE's gun to my head, and more than a few that made me say, WTF?
I'm a common peasant in the literary world. Give me a good thriller, mystery or spy story any day :lol:
