In the coming weeks, I plan to select self-help and cookery books, reportage and etiquette manuals as well as philosophy and economics. The guiding principle is that all these titles should, in some sense, have made a discernible contribution to who we are today, and to the way we live, think and write. Nonfiction (which is not a genre) also includes (according to library classification conventions) poetry and drama. I intend to choose poets and playwrights as well as polemicists and politicians.
