Over the last 30 days, I have written a blog post every day on significant books that I have presented over the first 15 years of the First Friday Book Synopsis. We meet every month, so that means I did not write about 10 books from each year. My selections include my choices for two significant books from each year. I had to skip some terrific books, and may pick some of these up in coming days.
Here’s the complete list. It is in the order I presented them — so, #1 was from 1998, and #30 is a book I presented in 2012.
I really do think these are worth reading. I certainly learned/remembered as I wrote these posts.
