The Big Dog's Favorite Books

Clinton's Favorite 21 books... It's interesting there are 21 and not a good round number, like, say, 20. I wonder which one on the list is the one that pushed it to 21?

(I've read "Parting the Waters," "Lincoln," "Invisible Man," "Moral Man," "Nat Turner," and a few Yeats poems in college. There are 7 I've never heard of...)
