People don't read enough books ... and people don't read enough longform essays either. As an example, if you want to know what is happening in the world, especially in terms of politics, it really helps to read a few of the articles in each issue of THE ECONOMIST, FOREIGN AFFAIRS, FOREIGN POLICY and THE NATIONAL INTEREST. But anyway, Ted, this is a great list. I can recommend the following website (The Electric Typewriter) that contains a lot of classic longform articles: https://tetw.org

This is a great collection, which I'm looking forward to diving into. Thanks for compiling it.
The Sondheim is marvelous.
