Hemingway influenced Chatwin, our greatest and most eccentric travel writer. There's a bit in one of Chatwin's books (In Patagonia, I think) when he writes something like "Looking at his shelf, I saw he had all the best books".
I quite like the idea that "the best books" exist and that you can quickly scan someone's shelf to check that they've got them. I imagine that there's about nine of them. You probably have to have the right editions, too.
