Preferably stuff that's readable, rather than pretentious garbage, but we'll see.  


That, unfortunately, is largely in the eye of the beholder.

My list is far different than most of you. I read for entertainment, so I'll pass.

Personally, I'd like as many perspectives as possible.

It was meant to be a humorous shake of the fist, so I changed it because I realized it wouldn't come across as I meant it.

Frankly, that's what I'm after, personally.

The last thing I need is to be told to wade through Robert Pirsig or Daniel Quinn.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

Yes. Actually, I think Twilight holds a larger place in the annals of Things That Suck. Mainly because as a basis of comparison, many things pale to the Suck that is Twilight.

To give Charley the benefit of the doubt, I will gladly accept Twilight in a list of books that he likes.

I would, however, get worried if he wanted to include Twilight in the List of Best Books he has read.

I found the series entertaining, but nowhere near the top of the list.
