Clay Burell revisits the lists of books we must read some time in our lives. It's a topic I have considered recently, as I have spent time recently reading the classics I missed during childhood (this comes about because I have basically finished all of science fiction, and there's almost no new science fiction published any more). My list, I think, would be very different from Burell's (and yes, would include some Asimov, Clarke and Heinlein). Burell's list puzzles me - Whitman and not Frost? Chuang Tzu and not the Tao Te Ching or the Analects? Nietzsche but not Kant, Hegel, Hume or Descartes?
