What are your "Must Read" books
Posted on 10/01/2010 8:36:26 PM PDT by MNDude
Everyone's opinion, what would be three books that every adult should read?
How about three books every kid should read?
(besides the Bible, since that's a given for most)

I’d have to think about it to figure out 3 but “The Last Stand Of The Tin Can Sailors” would be one if them.

For anyone over the age of 21 -
The Beastly Beatitudes of Balthazar B...J.D. Donleavy.
I read it every 2 years. I have read it since first buying it in 1975.

I liked it as well as The Fountainhead. I usually reply to Willie Green's railroad posts here as Dagney Taggert not liking his nationalizing the rails plan.
But, while I like them, they aren't well written. The page after page after page of speeches grind you down. Plus, there is some really twisted personal relationships in her writing that indicate she should have gotten some help.
They are up there, but not the top three. Gibbons Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and Quo Vadis leave them far behind in the dust.
