Another easy book to check out. I recognized many of the first lines but some of the other ones were rather obscure, that is to say I did not think they had a hook. Interesting choices of authors and their books but I thought that there were many other important writers that were left. Needless to say, it is a handy book to have and provides some insight into books you may want to read in the future.
