I've read ten--all of them published some time ago.

Shouldn't there be some math books in a list like that?

Gerard said...

I actually read a couple.

Seepy, Bryson's book discusses math history. Fortunately Bryson does not include lousy country music tunes.

Ridiculous list; nothing on it more than 40 years old, if that, and many titles from the last decade or so which will have the literary lifespan of mayflies. A dozen, maybe, on my to-read-one-day list--including Bryson, Woolf and Marquez--but *this* list fails the truly-significant-reading test by an enormous margin.

Yeah, there's some recency bias in this list.

Ptah! Not a single Gold Medal paperback on the list!

Echo! And I will continue to not read most of them 8-)
