Todd Gehman's "Bookish Friends' Must-Reads"

Add to my lists | Print this list

I compiled this list by asking all my smartypants friends to recommend one book that they felt I should read. Happily, I got no duplicates. Less happily, it’s going to take me eons to plow through this list.

I feel this is a great list, the books I read are among the best, but are not on the other lists I’ve looked. So I’m sure the rest would be as good and new to me.
