I also received some recommendations on must-read essays and essayists based on my response: "Oh, I liked Virginia Woolf" despite remembering only one essay of hers--"The Death of the Moth" as it was included in an English class.

• Think, Write, Speak by Vladimir Nabokov
• A Literary Education by Joseph Einstein
• Joan Didion
• William Safire
• Virginia Woolf
• Zadie Smith
• Audre Lorde

I forgot some authors and collections, but that's alright. As long as I continue my learning, I'll eventually encounter them.
