Speaking of lists..............................

Our friends at Amazon have posted a list of 100 Books to Read in a Lifetime. It's actually a fairly interesting list (translated:  I've read at least twenty of them and another dozen or so are shelved somewhere around the house).  There must be something about human nature that won't let us look at a list without feeling the need to add to it.  Goodreads went so far as to add another 100 (although there appears to be a few overlaps). Here is a start on my additions to the two lists:

Killer Angels, Michael Shaara

Trinity, Leon Uris

The Memory of Old Jack,  Wendell Berry

The Prince of Tides,  Pat Conroy

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

One Summer:  America, 1927,  Bill Bryson

The Poetry of Robert Frost

Red Storm Rising,  Tom Clancy

The Road Less Traveled,  M. Scott Peck

The Little World of Don Camillo,  Giovanni Guareschi

The Map That Changed the World,  Simon Winchester
