The Grand Tour of George Jones’s Library

By Neal 

OK, I admit it, USA Today’s copy of Borders CEO George Jones’s reading list really only has six books on it, which isn’t very grand at all, but you can imagine how hard it i to build witty headlines around “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” especially when Jones hasn’t stopped loving Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, one of his three all-time favorites. More recently, Jones—who says he still manages to get in some light reading before he goes to bed around 2 A.M.—has been reading John Grisham and James Patterson for fun; I assume his persual of Chris Anderson’s The Long Tail had at least some work-related motivation.
