Title: Better than Its Title
Review: Despite the title, this is a great addition to any library. A collection of over 200 short but thorough literary summaries and biographies (most are 2 pages). Included are biographies or works of Lincoln, Shakespeare, Ghandi, Mother Teresa, Malcolm X, Hawthorne, Hemingway, Tolstoy, Steinbeck, Milton, Dickens, Cervantes, Voltaire, Twain, Alcott, Darwin, Plato, Goethe, and many others.This is not an anthology, which is a collection of writing segments. Rather it is a collection of summaries of writings. Great for a quick introduction to classic writings, for deciding what complete writings you would like to read, or for procrastinating students who didn't get around to reading an assigned book and need a quick summary of it.Can be read 2 pages at a time, skipping days, months, or years between readings. Highly recommended with one caution: The print is small and may be difficult for some readers.
