(Name-mce) ListServ 10 Most Important Books: Poll

[Elaine Haglund]

Hi, Paul,

What a great idea to suggest our identifying our most meaningful  
social justice type books!

  I'm "fishing" here, but . . . by chance are you heading for  
assembling an alpha-author list you'd be willing to post for all of  
us???  In any case, thanks for ALL the good work you do!!!!!
