Hey. I have also decided to read the majority of the books that Will Durant has listed there. One of the reasons for that is that I feel the emptiness inside of me that needs to be filled with light. You will see as the ears go by that you will read some of the books and others because you will develop a hunger for them. The reason I like his list it because I have been trying to make my own list several times and failed. But now I have a solid foundation upon which I can expand and make my own list. I think that 5-10 years from now...you will thank yourself for being in the library that day and picking up his book. Regarding your peers in College only thinking about tv and snowboarding and such you need to do both.......because there is no reason to try to be older then you really are...you will get there soon anyways.
