I nominate a new addition. GrannyGrump has today uploaded a collection of short works by Ring Lardner called Lardner on the Loose.
Granny says that Lardner's "frequent use of vernacular influenced sports fiction writing for generations to come." Kindle https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=283831 ePub https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=283831 |

I will nominate The Art of Money Getting by PT Barnum. I believe it will give us great insight into the mind of our current president.
