Whatever happened to the Gentleman's Bookshelf thread? Where we talked about necessary books to call your library decent or well-rounded or classic, etc. Does anyone else remember that thread or did I dream it?
I need it because I read yesterday the pugnacious blitherings of a person who derided owning more than 30 books, total, all subjects, as unbearably pretentious.
Here, among those comfortable with not being the lowest common denominator, I was going to ask what 30 books, any combination of fiction or non-fiction (never more! unspeakable!) the ladies and gentlemen here would choose. I don't know if couples are allowed 60 or they have to share. lol
