[Buddha-l] Introducing Buddhism

[Peter D. Junger]

: Recently someone new to the list asked about books on Buddhism.
: Scavenging on Amazon.com, I was reminded of their "Listmania" feature.
: Several lists shown there are aimed at beginners - some with an
: emphasis on Zen, others on classics from the region, and so on.
: 
: Given the high level of scholarship available on this list, I wonder
: if we might develop a consensus bibliography of essential books,
: possibly divided into categories. This list could be sent in response
: to inquiries from newbies, and it could be posted on the Web and on
: Listmania.
: 
: Whaddaya say?

I think that that is an excellent idea.  Do you want to co-ordinate
the project?
