I have a list of books (of course, I always have a list of books.) It is a list of books I should read. Books that well-educated, well-read people read.  You know the books, the ones that frequently end up on lists of Very Important Books.  But they are the books that somehow never get read.  I mean to read them, I should read them, but I don’t read them.  I am listing a few here in the hopes that someone will give me a vital reason to read them and become the well-read person I dream of being. Hey, we all have our dreams. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo.…
