Got some time on your hands? This sampling of great books is a good way to raise your literary IQ. It's by no means a "definitive" list, but each of these masterpieces is at least as relevant and powerful today as when it was written. And they're all still terrific reads. The slideshow is adapted from "50 Books to (Re-) Read at 50," written by Mike Hammer for Next Avenue (http://nextavenue.org) — a major new PBS system website designed to reach America's booming 50+ population as they plan for and literally define a new life stage.
