  1. WOW!

    Quite a list.

    I have read many books over the years, hundreds, at least, and many are on this list and I read many of the categories listed here, but not poetry.

    I’ve read all 3 of the work of Gibbon about the decline and fall of Rome.

    And it was interesting to note inclusion of What is Life? by Erwin Schrodinger, which could be considered an obscure work.

    As to Uncle Tom’s Cabin, I believe that has been canceled by the WOKE crowd out there who remind me very much of ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

    1. I found Glengarry Glen Ross to be very dry – as if the characters were the walking dead.

      Nothing ever actually happened, so far as I could tell.

      It seems like the cast with the lines were all the losers in the realo estate firm, and my goodness, but I simply don’t relate to those types of people.

      Maybe, deep down, buried beneath where my intellect could reach, there was actually some deep philosophical or perhaps spiritual meaning in there, but if there was, it went by me in a hurry, making the one experience with it enough to last a lifetime, thank you very much.
