Joe Hill:
What are your top three favorite books of all-time? If you had to pick a single book that everyone, everywhere MUST read in their lifetime, what would it be?
Joe Hill
To answer the first question, probably Lonesome Dove, True Grit, and The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet.
I'm tempted to skip the second question -- I don't know there is such a thing as one book that everyone everywhere should read. I think, though, that at a certain point, it's difficult to think about the big ideas in English literature without at least a passing acquaintance with Shakespeare. And if you were only to read one of the plays, my unfashionable pick would be The Tempest.
