No matter how long your life is,you will,at best,be able to read only a few books of all that have been written,and the few you do read should inclue the best.It is to be expected that the selections will change over time.Yet there is a surprising uniformity in the lists which represent the best choices of any period.What are the signs by which we may recognize a great book?the four I will mention may not be all there are,but they are the ones I've found most useful in explaining my choices over the years.

Great books are popular,not pedantic.They are written by specialists about specialties for specialties.Whether they are philosophy or science,or history or poetry,they treat of human,not academic problems.They are written for men,not professors.To read a textbook for advanced students,you have to read an elementary textbook first.but the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter.They are not related to one another as a series of textbook,graded in difficulty or in the technicality of the problems with which they deal.
Great books are always contemporary,the most readable and instructive.
Great books deal with the persistently unsolved problems of humen life.There are genuine mysteries in the world that mark the limits of human knowing and thinking.Great minds acknowledge mysteries honestly.Wisdom is fortified,not destroyed,by understanding its limitations.
