The Great Books Podcast from National Review has slowly become the Great But Neglected Books podcast. This is unsurprising, as they are closing in on 300 books and have already done "Macbeth," Herodotus, Beowulf, lots of Dickens, Cervantes, Melville, Austen, Newton, and anything else that would come to mind while you were walking out the door thinking about your grocery list. These are the last ten. They have been intriguing.
