Ann Morgan considered herself well read — until she discovered the “massive blindspot” on her bookshelf. Amid a multitude of English and American authors, there were very few books from beyond the English-speaking world.

    Libraries are great for this. I find that just browsing and not judging my picks works very well. Then if a book is something I want to get, I can then invest.

    Oh man, TED has sunk so low. Just nonsense drivel from unremarkable people, often pushing a leftist political agenda.

      If only we could all make contributions to the world like you have with your youtube channel. TED sure could learn a thing or two from you. Thanks for inspiring me!
