That is quite the list you have there, I love how you know your top 100+ books of all time! If you liked Stephanie Coontz’s The Way We Never Were, you should check out her new book, ‘A Strange Stirring- The Feminine Mystique and American Women at the Dawn of the 1960’s’. Coontz continue to bust myths about the time we all thought was so great. It is a really good read, I am about half way through.
