I almost missed this. I seldom read "Parade" but my good wife saved this for me and left it on my desk. It's a June 26th issued from the MT. Unfortunately the introduction is missing (I thought it was interesting what they "allowed" and had to "reject". Whatever, a great list in my very humble opinion.
See what you think: (The "body" didn't copy over well: Sorry. Still, readable if you are curious)

Really? That's what you want to know?
They are BOOKS! Some fiction, some nonfiction, but things people worked hard to produce and turn words into sentences, sentences into paragraphs, that became pages, and pages that became books. And we get to read them!
Maybe on Google books.
But if not maybe on Kindle, Barnes and Noble readers, or maybe at our local book store or library.
It's all about content Chuck. And, if your comment was yet another feeble attempt at humor it misfired.
Without books, we would still be living in caves.

I have a book shelf with some of my favorite books on it, but I don't read as much as I once did. When I'm on vacation I read more. Still, I think ebooks are cool; you save a little paper by reading on your device and they are cheaper. The point is, you almost don't need paper books anymore. Nothing wrong with that, right?

OK the point is, books are becoming old fashion, like 8 tracks.
I should have ask, Did they make them into movies? You can tell a great book by how many times they made it into a movie.

Bygone days?
Books are books. I now read mostly on a Barnes & Noble reader, a Kindle APP, and some things on an iPad. (My failing eyesight makes it difficut to read "normal" size font.)
But I do read, Barbie, and it's kind of hilarious that the reading I do is almost exactly contrary to the snarky remarks you made. (I kind of miss my paper books...something special about the original thing. I'd love to find corrective lens that would work so I could read more of them again)
And the point remains, it's about the content of books suggested here, not about how they are read. I thought this was a prettty decent list and might be a great reading list for those who are interesting in catching up with things they may have misssed.
Too bad you again missed the point.
Measure twice, cut once.

*but of course he did in fact miss the point. Well, I guess we all do from time to time (miss the point). But there are times when it's so far off the mark one wonders if it was maybe intended for another thread.
Whatever: I have no sore spots.
Anyone see a "very favorite (or two) book on that list. I've read a lot of 'em but spotted a few I want to write down and make sure I read. I always intended to get around to Phillip Roth's "American Pastoral" and never did, so I plan on getting to that soon. Then there are the ones I haven't read and have not interest in.
Whatever: Thank the gods for books!

More about books (as if anyone really really cares)
1st: Splain this Lucy: I had cataract surgery and all went well, the Doc telling me I'd have to use drug-store "cheaters" to read maybe, but I'd be able to see the movie screen at the local movie house. All well and good.
So...I tried several magnification levels and found that 1.75 works well for seeing the computer screen on my laptop and large print on news headlines, etc: However, 1.75 just doesn't work for reading most books and magazines. Next logical step, try magnification 2.0. Nope...feels like it's pulling my eyes out of my head and not real easy to read anyway. Don't understand. Anyone got any tips or info to explaint this?
So, I use an electronic reader. My default for reading books is a Barnes and Noble Glo-Light and I like it fine. However, the Kindle Paper White gets better reviews and I know a couple of people who have them and really like them. (I got started with the B&N thing because my wife started there and...well you know.
I like magazines. And again, the 1.75 glasses just dont' cut it for the print size of the paper edition and the 2.0 are too "strong" or otherwise not suitable (?) so I read New Yorker, Atlantic, and Harpers on an iPad with the 1.75 glasses. Works well, and even includes occasional video which of course the magazine can't offer.
If any of that is of ANY value to anyone, I'm glad. If not...."Never mind".

How about you try an optometrist instead of the dollar store? That's my tip.

And a GOOD tip is is. I have been reluctant only becasue when they did the cataract thing, they removed my "lens" and put in some plastic ones with fixed optics. (Standard, I hear). So, I thought (without thinking ) that since the lens are fixed they could do noting to correct vision. Of course I did not try to reasearch it...that would have been too logical and obvious.
So now I will.
Thanks.

Oh! Come on now! I've been doing that since 1955. (Prior to that I rolled my jeans up. See, back in the day you bought waist sizes but were at the mercy of the store about inseam length)
PS: "She Who Must Be Obeyed" has insisted that when we go to weddings and funerals and i'm I wearing a suit an tie, I NOT stuff my pants in my socks. Hard ass woman, I tell ya.

I use the same numbers with the same results. It would be great if they made something in the middle. Try a brighter light with the 1.75 and see if that works.

A brighter light or maybe a BETTER light. Meaning a light that somewhat duplicates natural light.
I had one I think it was called an Ott light. It sat on the edge of my desk and had a flexible shaft like a snake light. It was precarious sitting there and I told my wife I was going to run a long screw right threw the heavy base before it fell off the desk.
She said NO so we made a compromise. So I didn't screw it down.
A couple of weeks later it fell off the desk and broke.

My wife uses an OTT light. Remarkable things. If she wants to know the TRUE color of something, she shines the OTT light on it. (She tried to explain the science to me then saw the blank look on my face and gave up)
I tried it for reading...not so great.
