Marilyn Monroe: Avid Reader, Writer & Book Collector - Part B - Page 2

Are you as well read as Marilyn Monroe? Included here are novels, plays, European & American Poetry, books on music, politics, psychology, religion, science, travel, foreign languages and more.
This is the 2nd part of a two-part series on Marilyn Monroe's personal library (follow the link for Part A). It is a much extended version of the challenge published by Jessica._martens in 2015. I have omitted duplicates, some journal articles and books that were poorly specified. If I had to create a new icon, I attempted to use a version of the work contemporaneous with M.M.'s adult years.
