Hey Rob you could you share your list especially the ones you think are absolute must reads. Many thanks.

I'm John, I've lived in Tokyo, London, New York, Chicago, Boston, DC, SF, San Diego,,,but these days I hail from Sioux City, IA. I love Kundera - Book of Laughter and Forgetting, Unbearable Lightness of Being - also Gabriel Garcia Marquez - I am currently trying to read one of his books in Spanish. I am reading Gandhi's autobiography, Einsteins biography, and Steve Jobs biography at the same time. I love to read and socialize! I am looking forward to discussions about the meaning these works have on our lives. I also found NP by Banana Yoshimoto very interesting. I'm also a fan of Shakespeare, Steinbeck, Dickens, etc. My super power would be to fly - I just think that would be fun! =)
