The Torchlight List: Around the World in 200 Books by Jim Flynn

A professor for over forty years, Jim Flynn found that fewer and fewer of his students were in love with reading. However, they were willing to try if he would give them lists. This book is the definitive list: 200 works so wonderful to read, and so revealing about times and places, that they make learning enjoyable and effortless. The title the Torchlight List is in honour of the author's 'uneducated' Irish family who made him love reading including an uncle who, while an able seaman during World War I, read by torchlight on board ship. Flynn begins by offering five novels that he believes will convince anyone to make reading a habit, including one that will change their lives and take them into the 'magic realm'. This 2010 Awa Press Paperback is in very good condition.
