WARNING: TOTALLY ELITIST BOOK LOVER COMMENT FOLLOWS.

I find it interesting that the best books thread caused me to wonder if I had been insufficiently generous to a number of books that I have never thought much of; while this thread confirms my suspicion that there are many books that are better than many of their readers. I used to think I overvalued books at the expense of people -- my mind has been changing over the years, and this thread is no help.

yours, Peter T.
