NP!: William Grimes on 1001 Books

[Henry]

I don't have the list of 1001 books; Swann's Way and one or two books from
OBA may be in the book, but they weren't referenced in the Grimes/Times
piece.  

I gotta admit that as an autodidact (surprise! Any others on the P-Liste?),
my education is particularly incomplete, and I could even use some input on
one or two must-reads for many classic authors. If it's any good, the 1001
books list might be better for me than for either end of the academic to
non-reading spectrum. A-and while I don't need no stinkin' book to tell me
to read OBA or Proust,  I could use a few hundred suggestions for
pop-fiction, and historical, biography, and other non-fiction works.

Well, nobody mentioned Proust either, and if Swann's Way ain't in 1001 books
to eat before you chuck it, well, chuck it..
