Thomas Jefferson was an avid reader. He collected thousands of books about hundreds of subjects throughout his life. His books were lost to fire several times, but he kept buying and refurbishing his collection.
During the war of 1812, the British burned the Library of Congress. Thomas Jefferson offered to sell his collection of nearly 6,500 books to the Library for a minimum amount. Today the Library of Congress is the largest library in the world.
I am also an avid reader. But I prefer fiction, fantasy, and adventure. If I were to donate books to the Library of Congress, here are the ones I would contribute:
