So little time, so many books….

By Ron Rollins | Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 02:19 PM

Cool piece from the journal Foreign Policy on “100 Books That Will Make you Smarter.” Since it’s FP, it’s heavily weighted toward history, politics and sociology … nothing wrong with that.

I’m pleased to say I’ve read most of the fiction, what little there is … mostly, though, I’m reminded how far behind I am on good non-fiction. Alas, I don’t see myself ever catching up, either…

Have a look at the list and see what you think. Any faves you’d like to add?
