Popularity and taste rarely coincide because most people have no taste.
(Me covets a The Doors of Perception / Heaven and Hell first edition.)
The other thing is to read books that are important, not just ones that are preferred or pleasant for a wider perspective:
- Mein Kampf
- Capital (Das Kapital)
- Technological Slavery
- The International Jew
- A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies
- The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Vol. 1-6.
- (ones by ideological opposites)
- America: The Farewell Tour
- Sorrows of Empire
Also, people who don't own any books, paper or Kindle... that's a big "nope."
