I think Bloom is more brainy in every way. Both books have good lists of books and other literature to read!

I'm not one who normally sits and reads poetry, although I have come to appreciate it a bit. Bloom has also written a book called <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/reberead-20/detail/0060769661/103-3642431-7933451" rel="nofollow"><em>The Art of Reading Poetry</em></a> if you're interested in his take on poetry beyond what he says in HTR&W. I haven't read HTR&W yet, so not sure exactly what he says in that. @Rose City Reader: It is an intriguing list–especially with the short stories and the collection of poems and poetry collections.

Now that I read the list, I am even more intrigued. I've read some of them, and others are on my TBR shelf now. I think I will hold off on the TBR works until I read HTR&W, so I can benefit from his suggestions. I am a little worried about the poetry, since I do not consider myself a fan. But I've been thinking that if I could only learn HOW to appreciate poetry, I may actually appreciate it. This could be the ticket. Wow! Now that I read the list, I am even more intrigued.

In fact, we might already have HTR&W. But even if I have trouble committing, I'll be back to check your progress ... especially when you get to Moby-Dick, which is one of my all-time favorite books.
