This will be a running list of mine. Here are the first essays on my hit list. The order will be as I add and read them. Some of the essays I've read, but I need to reread.
I occasionally hear or see references to influential essays, and, of course, I always say I'm going to read those later. But, of course, I rarely do and, more likely, forgive about the essay altogether.
For now on, I will stop and update my list here. Hopefully, this list will remind and motivate me to read the essays. I'll make some type of response for each essay. Links in the To Read section will be for the essay's text. Links in the Read and Recommend or Do Not Recommend will be to my reviews.
