Francine Prose's list of books to be read immediately is meant to teach reading, careful reading, to those who would learn from other writers. The books are poetry, memoir, history, fiction, essays, travel essays, correspondence, literary criticism, and plays. It is possible that it is the definitive list for those who would write.

Little Women
I like Alcott's book a little better now. There's no Ishmael and no Captain Ahab, but the characters want things. They are adorable and they make me happy. No quote of the day. What are you reading?
