"I love to read literature, but only good literature. I have little patience these days to finish a mediocre book. I realize in these postmodern times it is quite difficult to determine what is good literature and what is not. Who’s to say? Isn’t it purely a matter of taste? Well, not totally, I must say. There are good books and there are books that aren’t so good. We can talk about what those criteria are, but there are ways to judge. Once you develop the taste for truly good writing, you know it when you read it.
In any case, I thought it might be helpful to share my list of good books. I hope you enjoy. I hope you will give me your thoughts about my list. I hope you will add to my list."
From President Eaton's recent blog entry, My Top Five (or 10) Book Lists.
