Sobre a minha bibliotecaDepth and range, picks up chicks (sometimes), but I'm trying to only post ones that I've read and kept. Sometimes I put things on here that I haven't read or haven't kept, but I keep almost everything so those are rare.

Most important book-actually a set, the Gateway to the Great Books. The variety of essays in the smaller 10-volume set provides the perfect backdrop for an education.

Favorite Great Book: Homer's Iliad.

Favorite non-Great Book: Sowell's Knowledge and Decisions.

Favorite Sports Book: Perfect, by James Buckley, Jr., though Phil Jackson's The Last Season is a very close second.
