There's a set of books which you're just supposed to know about, at
least if you live in The West and fancy the idea of being thought
'educated'. There's the Bible, Shakespeare, James Joyce, Walter
Scott and Machiavelli. Dr Jekyll, Tiny Tim, Starbuck, Socrates, Mr.
Scrooge, Raskolnikov, Einstein and Enkidu. The Brontes and Boswell,
Wordsworth, Newton Confucius and Don Quixote. Here they all are.
100 of the most quoted, most known, works of all time, in the
original author's own words, but squashed up into nice little
abridgements you can read in an hour or so. Little versions which
smell and sound just like the originals. And ... with The Hundred
Books it becomes possible to read the whole thing as a single
narrative, to discover a Pisgah View of the written history of the
great grand thing of how We got where We are now, in way that's
just impossible for ordinary mortals. Read the lot, you'll love it,
and you'll never, ever, be bored in an airport again.
