The Book of Lost Books: An Incomplete History of All the Great Books You'll Never Read by Stuart Kelly
Joyce's review
A collection of short essays about lost works of literature. I was quite surprised to learn how many potentially great books had been lost (almost all of Aeschylus, for instance) and the circumstances under which they were lost (the great Confucian purge!). Perfect bathroom reading.
