	Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice is perhaps the most consistently intelligent and humane novel I know. I re-read once a year, and always fall ever more deeply in love with Elizabeth Bennet.
	The Last Lion by William Manchester A heroic biography of Winston Churchill that is all the more beguiling and convincing because it confronts the vices as well as the virtues of the 20th century's truly indispensable man.
	The Last Chronicle of Barset by Anthony Trollope If you do not like reading Trollope, you do not like people. Period. This is one of his greats, a tragic novel that concludes on a note of redemption—like life itself.
	The Essential Johnny Cash by Johnny Cash The Essential Johnny Cash. The title says it all. There are a lot of runners-up, but for the essence of a tragic musical sensibility, Cash is the best.
	Henry V Henry V, with Kenneth Branagh. A brilliant film about the human dimensions of power, responsibility, and conscience. People only remember the heroic parts; Branagh is wonderful at illustrating the complexities of perhaps the greatest political drama ever.
