How to make a (GUIDED, ANNOTATED) list of books for your DIGITAL LIBRARY

A digital library suggets that you have takien time to collect the items and you have a summary of WHY that book is in your list.

John Vornle created a list of books that he recommended and he explains WHY in each of the annotations that follow each book's title.

Here are some examples



GET THE VORNLE  LIST

There is a fellow who has created lists of "best books"... but he doesn't take time to annotate.  Don't follow this fellow's example.  He invested hours setting up the links to Amazon for each book.  Instead of creating links, why not write a summary of the book and tell us WHY the book is important.   The creator of this "best" list asks us to accept his definition of "best."   In contrast, John Vornle tells us WHY we should read the book.

Don't accept a list of "best books."  Look for the
reasons WHY the book is in that list.

GET THE VORNLE LIST
When you create your list of five or ten books that you recommend, explain WHY we should read the book.
