It makes it easy to see who was just trying to be contrarian. If your list of most influential books has nothing in common with the lists of 100 other people, you did that on purpose.<br /><br />I've seen the Onion/TED thing floating around, but hadn't watched it yet.

I don't think chemists would be so narcissistic as to think it was mostly chemists who are "notable." I am also suspicious of self-compiled lists of what you think has been influential. It would be more interesting to see what books they actually read most often - or read at all.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.com
