Add to my lists | Print this list

A list of titles suggested in the book "100 One-Night Reads" by David C. Major and John S. Major. These books are all supposedly short enough and interesting enough to be read in one night.

Note: The authors chose two essays for Ralph Waldo Emerson, so the list contains more than 100 entries.
