About this list
The Detroit Free Press, 196 Books
Digby Diehl, chief book editor of the Los Angeles Times, chose 200 of his favorite books for prospective readers. The New York Times described Diehl as a prolific literary critic and writer (source: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/01/obituaries/digby-diehl-collaborator-on-memoirs-of-the-famous-dies-at-76.html).
**"The Last Whole Earth Catalog" was not included here because it is a magazine.**
This list was originally published in 1973 and was added to this site about 1 year ago.
