At the moment the list is geared toward "need-to-know" subjects for work and personal interest. My undergrad major was English (American and British lit) and I've spent a good amount of time with Hemingway and Dickens over the years. Next year's list will likely feature more fiction, including classics. Fair point, GoodWord. At the moment the list is geared toward “need-to-know” subjects for work and personal interest.

I'd maybe drop a few of the self-helpish books and pick up some classics. That way you know the ideas presented to you have been tested and found worthy of preservation. I doubt that the average American will know the name of any author on your list even 25 years from now.

If Seth Godin is truly up to no good, he's doing an excellent job of concealing his villainy--maybe <i>just like</i> Lex Luthor? Ha ha!

We need to watch out if this guy starts running for President. Especially when you consider how good of a businessman Lex was and even how he feigned being the humanitarian.
