I tried to add this as a comment but the post disappeared so here it is.


You may have seen this already, but there's a shortie piece in Oprah's magazine (Feb 2006) called Books That Made a Difference to Hugh Laurie. He wrote a four paragraph blurb on what makes a book memorable for him, and then a paragraph or so on each of the six books he chose, which are:

1) The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck

2) Moby-Dick, by Herman Melville

3) The Spy Who Came In From the Cold, by John Le Carre

4) Darwin's Dangerous Idea, by Daniel C. Dennett

5) Catch-22, by Joseph Heller

6) The Code of the Woosters, by P. G. Wodehouse
