2. “Here’s a list of books any writer should
have read as a part of his education…If
you haven’t read these, you just aren’t
educated. They represent different types
of writing. Some may bore you, others
might inspire you, and others are so
beautifully written they’ll make you feel
it’s hopeless for you to try to write.”
