Read His Favorites List

“Read any good books lately?” is a conversation starter for many readers for there is something endlessly fascinating to a reader about what other people read. When the New York Times asked Bruce Springsteen what books were important to him, they got some surprising answers.

Last week “Brain Pickings” published Springsteen’s list of 28 favorite books. If you want to know what they are, click here.
