Sunday Special: The 100 Best Books of the Century (So Far)
The Daily
Choosing Books Based on Perception
The speaker reflects on the absence of popular books on a list of best books, questioning if people prioritize literary or fancy works over popular and enjoyable ones. They mention putting 'Gone Girl' on their list, highlighting its widespread appeal and well-crafted nature, indicating a preference for books that are both well-written and loved by many. The discussion raises doubts about whether the list leans towards books deemed 'great' rather than entertaining, with a suggestion to include more fun reads like 'Pastoralia' by George Saunders.
