But for me those *would* be the must-haves. The type of book you seem to be referring to is not something I place much stock in. I remember a university professor asking us just before the exam who in the class actually finished the Faulkner. Not a single hand went up. The professor then admitted that he would have rather done DeLillo, but 'it's an American lit class so you *have to* do Faulkner.' Bah humbug to that
If you want to know what my actual 'must have' books are, that's a great question but it does not seem to be the question you are asking.
