It has been said that to write well you must read well. Here is a list of the Harvard Classics:
"The most comprehensive and well-researched anthology of all time comprises both the 50-volume "5-foot shelf of books" and the the 20-volume Shelf of Fiction. Together they cover every major literary figure, philosopher, religion, folklore and historical subject through the twentieth century."
In other news....With all that reading you might want to invest in some commercial office chairs.
