Here are the “You Wouldn’t Want To Be” books, now listed in chronological order (to the best of my ability, as some of the books don’t even mention a date at all). Some books list dates that seem a bit off. I’ll list the generally accepted dates, as well as the date the book mentioned if different and applicable.
