The Great Gatsby-F. Scott Fitzgerald
How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization-Franklin Foer
Pride & Prejudice-Jane Austen
Catch-22-Joseph Heller
Of Mice and Men-John Steinbeck
Bridget Jones' Diary-Helen Fielding
The World According to Garp-John Irving
Under the Tuscan Sun-Frances Meyes
Flowers for Algernon-Daniel Keyes
Sherlock Holmes-Arthur Conan Doyle
Into the Wild-Jon Krakauer
Beatles-Bob Spitz
The Slightly True Story of Cedar B. Hartley (Who Planned to Live an Unusual Life)-Martine Murray
The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream-Barack Obama

Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic-Alison Bechdel
The Ladies of Grace Adieu-Susanna Clarke

It is a long list, but I look forward to reading all of them. And if Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows should come out, there will have to be some list editing.

and strengthen you as nothing else can.-William Feather
