Reading List for Writers

Every day I read agent Chip McGregor's blog. Today he published his recommended list for writers, all the way from ancient literature to contemporary works. I was happy to see that works of several authors about whom I have written YA biographies appeared on his list:  Charles Dickens' THE PICKWICK PAPERS, DAVID COPPERFIELD, HARD TIMES, THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP (my book--Best of Times: The Story of Charles Dickens), Ralph Waldo Emerson's selected poems (my book--Self-Reliance: The Story of Ralph Waldo Emerson); Mark Twain's THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN (my book--A Great and Sublime Fool: The Story of Mark Twain). So get busy, writers, to make yourselves well read.
