Flavorwire has complied a list of the favorite books of fifty cultural icons. I think list like this are fascinating. For example, the late Robin Williams writes:
“Oh my god, Isaac Asimov’s Foundation trilogy. It’s one of the greatest books of all time, and the greatest character is The Mule.”

In his list, Louis C. K. includes The Dharma Bums, which I have always thought of as Kerouac’s best novel.
