WORTH CONSUMING!
I just finished The Education, and I’ll heartily agree with the ratings of it among the best nonfiction of the 20th century. It is another of my favorite genre, the “books about everything.” It covers roughly the period from 1850 to 1905, and hits on almost every major historical and intellectual development of the time, but from a personal and anecdotal perspective that really brings it all to life in a way that dry academic tomes never can.
