Yes, admittedly I do tend be fairly narrow in my reading choices.

Addendum: To elaborate just a bit, the previous list of books cited in my earlier post are those that I actively seek out for enjoyment and inspiration. Yes, it's indeed narrow and would make it appear that I'm not well-read. To the contrary! While not for enjoyment, I have read even these titles: The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Mein Kempf, Das Kapital and Ten Days that Shook the World, all of which I consider more along the lines of doing opposition research since none were enjoyable.

The Autobiography has always suggested to me that Malcolm was headed towards conservatism at the end of his life. It’s part of why he was killed. If you’ve read all of ‘Das Kapital’ you may be the only one in the world. One of Marx’s main biographers admitted at the end of his life that he never read the whole thing.

“Yes, it’s indeed narrow and would make it appear that I’m not well-read. “

I never for a moment thought that you were not well read because you had narrow reading choices.

I detest science-fiction and romance novels,but I’ll try anything.

We all have our likes and dislikes.

Happy reading !!!
