Christopher Beha's memoir is called "The Whole Five Feet: What the Great Books Taught Me About Life, Death and Pretty Much Everything Else." Beha challenged himself to read the entire Harvard Classics in one year. During that year he not only completed the reading but experienced the death of a favorite aunt and personal illnesses. Through it all he learned the relevance of great literature to contemporary life as well as the fact that we "have to write our own books."
