Lists of Bests: gauloises's "Books That I Have Read" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/5804 Fairly self-explanatory and obviously a work in progress. Includes plays, poetry, and works of philosophy and literary criticism which have made a particular impression on me. Does not include books I read as a child, books that I didn't get anything from, or books that I have forgotten about.
