While everyone has different tastes and needs, there's no doubt that some books are better than others. Not to belittle Gladwell too much - I enjoyed the talk and it's a valuable perspective on market segmentation - but using a pop science author talking about spaghetti sauce as a source is hardly an argument to dismiss the notion of quality.

Quality is important, but still subjective. Not to say this won't be a great curated list.

Anyways, I should have known better than to just throw that out there. My bad.
