The Well-Educated Mind Update: 91% (143/158)

I finally finished Mein Kampf. I am taking a big bow and won't even justify him by reviewing it. He was evil and arrogant!


I am down to a single digit percent-wise. 9% of the books left. I am finishing the autobiographies and will go back to the remaining history books. Here is my tentative schedule over the next year:

1948 Seven Story Mountain Merton (Sept)
1965 The Autobiography of + Malcolm X (Oct)
1973 Gulag Archipelago Solzhenitsyn (Nov)
