A comment from a lurker (you know who you are) prompted me to re-think two of our choices. We opted to exclude William Shakespeare from consideration because he wrote plays, not books. But we included the Bible, because it is so deeply ingrained in our culture. On reflection, if one should read the Bible whether one is religious or not just because of it cultural impact, then one should also read Shakespeare for the same reason.
Not one of my books was chosen!
ReplyDeleteHm.... Well, Ms. Anonymous, perhaps you need a better press agent. I'm assuming you are a Ms. because of the book, Anonymous Was a Woman, available in a number of libraries in the Nassau Library System.
ReplyDeleteOn second thought, I checked the library's catalog and found that Anonymous is listed as the author of The Old Testament of the King James Version of the Bible. So, you did make the list! Congratulations!!!
