I See Dead People(s Libraries)

Here's a handy little link to the best thing of all... a list of books on the bookshelves of famous dead people. If you're like me, you KNOW you're itching to click on this link at work and spend the next two hours going through every single person on the list. (Which I did.)

My favourites:
Tupac Shakur: for its breadth and engagement with philosophy and critical thought
Sylvia Plath: for its volume
Rembrandt: for its lack of volume!

More to explore. Whose libraries are YOUR favourites?
