"Such a list, of course, is bound to be both incomplete and filled with a number of implicit judgments and decisions, and is therefore hardly meant to be definitive. Rather, I hope it simply suggests some engaging starting points; nudges serious readers to pick up a few texts they might not have thought about picking up before, or just haven't had an excuse to pick up yet; opens a space for conversation about what comprises a "masterpiece"; and underscores the fact that reading is always a beginning, never a end." - Miguel Caetano from Bookmarklet
