I am currently reading Jenkins tome on Churchill's life. I had no idea he had served so gallantly in the Boer War and WWI. He was rather fearless....

Neo,
The absence that leaped out at me was Walt Disney, dropped from previous versions. Kubrick is cool but Disney is ubiquitous. I am curious, why the switch?

Interesting that three of my favorite authors appear together in the order I met them.

29. Albert Camus
30. Franz Kafka
31. Herman Hesse

Also curious that SI spellcheck tags Kubrick, Camus, and Hesse as misspelled but passes Disney, Kafka, Albert, Franz, and Herman. It also tags "spellcheck". ggg
