Reading For Cranky Types

John Derbyshire has suggested five books for the curmodgeonly among us. Unfortunately, the June 12 WSJ Opinion Page link seems to be unavailable, thus depriving us of Derbyshire's accompanying commentary. His list:

Gulliver's Travels, Jonathan Swift
Life of Johnson, James Boswell
A Mencken Chrestomathy, H.L. Mencken
The Essays, Articles And Reviews of Evelyn Waugh, Donat Gallagher
Collected Poems,Philip Larken

Should the link become available, you'll find it here in an update.
