BOOKS. In 1988, Frederic Raphael published "List of Books" -- a guide to essential reading on a variety of topics (economics, history, philosophy). But it's almost 20 years old. Does anyone know of a similar updated list (equally trustworthy and well researched), either on-line or in book form?

Josh Kaufman posted a Personal MBA Program: a list of business books under categories like Productivity, Corporate Finance, Self-Mastery, and How the World Works. I think he intends to update the list as time passes.
