   S: Classical literature equals little to no female authors.

   Anon: I’d imagine the author of the post is referring to Western Civilization. Home of the printing press and all that. Regardless, they’re not all from those two continents. Augustine was from Africa and spent the last third of his life has the Bishop of Hippo (which is in modern day Algeria.)

   As far as the list itself, I’d drop numbers 8 and 11 (The Social Contract (Jean Jaques Rousseau) and The Communist Manifesto by Marx.) To replace them, I’d add The Law by Frederic Bastiat and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith (though Moral Sentiments by Smith would work almost as well.) Some other additions would include The Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, nearly any of Cicero’s work, and the works of Edmund Burke.

   S,
   I’m not sure why that happens, but I guess CS’s comment is a good explanation.

   Quotes, Dean T, Sue Berg,
   Thanks for your suggestions! In this list I included only the books which are mentioned by both sources. There are some good books like Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography which are mentioned only by one source, so I did not include them.

   Anon,
   That’s why I wrote in the post that these are ‘among the best books of human civilization’. I believe there are some other good books which are not included here, since my two sources mainly focus on Western civilization. One example of such books is The Art of War by Sun Tzu.

   Michele,
   Yes, it will take a long time to read them all. To provide the context, generally it is advised to read the books in chronological order (from the oldest book). Fortunately, the list here is already in chronological order within each category.

   CS,
   Thanks for your insights and suggestions!

    This seems about as useful as a list of the greatest bands of the sixties. Well, perhaps it’s even worse in a few ways. The definition of “well read” is about as personal a decision as, say whether you believe in God and what that means to you. Not surprisingly, a number of the titles that make this list are Christian religious tracts.

    I’d say the Mahabrata of which the sacred Hindu text Bahagavad Gita represents a single chapter is the only book you need. Of course you’ll need quite a few shelves to store all the volumes. The translations are not complete for all volumes, but you can start off with the Bahagavad Gita which is translated into English by about a dozen different organizations and also freely available.

    That advice is at least equally sound as Augustine. I gagged when I saw that. Augustine is the great grandaddy of all wing-nuts.

    Finally, what in the world is Richard III on there for instead of Richard II, the latter being the classic for its sublime portrayal of Falstaff.

    No Goethe? No beats? No Lewis Caroll? I’d say this is a rather conservatively bent list. And I use the word bent with its full implocations of repressed male Christian homosexuality.

    For goodness sake, this is a list of books designed to turn people off reading. With the possible exception of Huckleberry Finn not one of these books would ever be chosen by any right minded person as a ‘good read’ except some anal retentive book fetishist who has snobbish pretensions of quality. While they may be ‘classics of literature in no way will they ever be read by anyone outside of academia and as I can testify will only be read out of a necessity to pass a test.

    Personally I believe that you have just matched up the two list you mention and have posted. I do not belive that YOU Donald have read even half of the books you have listed if that otherwise you would have been more cautious in your assumptions.

    “Anon,

    I read all of these books as a young child–they were my sister’s
    college texts. Basically, they are all drivel! Especially the ones that are mere novels and stories.
    You want to boost your learning experience, read math and science books. Read the Feynman lectures–learn calculus and linear algebra
    and statistical mechanics and electronics and control theory, and biochemistry etc.
    Liberal arts is drivel, for inferior minds.

    I just have to comment about all the posts about the list sucking. It is sad that people don’t have the mental strength to make it though these books and enjoy them. It takes little to read some 6th grade book and say,”That was enjoyable.”

    It takes someone else to actually invest the days or weeks that most of these selections take to appreciate. Nice. I, unlike most of the idiots posting, do not support a dumbing down of actual scholarship. I’m glad you think that your study of sciences instead of liberal arts will be remembered in the future.

    Hi,
    If you are interested in classic books, I have a set of the Brittanica “Great Books” set, from 1952. It is missing a few volumes and is cloth covered, not leather, and thus it is not worth anything for re-sale as far as I can tell. It is probably not worth shipping either, so if you are in the Austin, Texas area and can arrange to meet me sometime, you can have them for free. I would feel baddly if this books were to be tossed in the garbage, but I have been hauling them about and storing them for too long.
    Most of the authors mentioned in this post are included in the set. Jane Austen and Nathaniel Hawthorne were not, I haven’t checked all of them. There are more than 60 books.
    My email is rgristroph@gmail.com

    I would have to agree with the comment by wellread. This is an extremely narrow list of “books to boost your learning experience”. It completely neglects anything but the standard western texts and even there, where is Joyce? Pynchon? Beckett? Hemingway? Steinbeck? Chekov? What about writers like Mishima, Lu Xun, Abe? I, too, gagged when I saw Augustine on that list. He was tedious and a wing-nut in both translation and in the original Latin.

    Thanks for stopping by, everyone! I really appreciate your comments, links, and suggestions. There are a lot of useful insights and resources there.

    I’m just a beginner in the world of classic books, so my intention of creating this list is to help me in my journey there. I published it with a hope that it might also be useful to others. No doubt most of you have (much) more experience than me, which is why I enjoy reading your comments and constructive criticisms.

    I realize that this list can’t satisfy everyone. It lists only 48 books which is far from comprehensive. The list in How to Read a Book for example, has more than 200 books in it. However, I personally find such huge list overwhelming. Since I’m a beginner, I need a shorter list to start with and this is the list I came up with. If you need a more comprehensive list, I’d suggest you check the lists in How to Read a Book and The Well-Educated Mind.

    #21 15. October 2007, 11:25 am o'clock |

    @penny – If you think great literature is drivel – mere novels and stories – then you are depriving yourself of valuable learning. This list isn’t comprehensive, as the author himself admits, but it does contain some of the most important western literature. Reading Feynman and learning advanced mathematics is valuable as well, but excluding literature does not create a well rounded human being.

    To all the naysayers – It is easy to criticize but harder to contribute. If you have your own list, get your own blog and publish it! Let us know what literature or other reading has been essential for your growth and development. Donald stepped out from the crowd and was willing to share a little piece of himself. You all would do well to do likewise.

    I’ve only read about a third of these titles. When I was in my early 20’s I had a job as a college gardener in England. I spent so much time sitting out the rain and reading Penguin Classics (paperbacks).That was more than thirty years ago. More recently, I found the Teaching Company. They have some amazing lectures on the humanities which are given by what they call super-star lecturers. Some are better than others, but their products are well worth looking at.

    Your reading list really is an investment of time, so you should be sure you really want to read these. I think the experience is more profound when you read in a group and can discuss ideas. Many of these books are written from a worldview so very different from the world we are thrown into. When I was studying my A level French (at night school in the UK) I very much appreciated the teacher being able to put the books we were reading in their socio-historical perspective.

    I don’t think it is a matter of ‘getting through’ these books, but savoring them and taking your time to have an experience. The problem with education is it’s so goal-oriented and not about learning and experience. I am all for slow learning that makes a difference, rather than skimming across the surface and touching on many ideas only for them to be forgotten.

    I love paper. A short blog post is OK to read on screen, but for a classic book I want the luxury of the printed page.

Next, I hope to read The Doll’s House or the Oedipus trilogy! I think the reason I like this list so much is because I either own or have read almost all of these, so it seems really surmountable. Anyway, great list, great blog. Have a lovely day!

    With the exception of most of the Histories, Agamemnon (Aeschylus) and Tartuffe (Moliere), I have read every book on this list.

    Your opinion that no “not one of these books would ever be chosen by any right minded person as a ‘good read’ except some anal retentive book fetishist who has snobbish pretensions” is largely insulting to one such as myself as I do consider myself to be right minded and am in no way aware that I am an anal retentive book fetishist or hold snobbish pretensions.

    Let it be known that I am 16 years old and from New Zealand. If a teenager from down under can take the time to read these books (and enjoy them) how can the list be “a list of books designed to turn people off reading”?

    Hall Caine – The Eternal City
    Luo Guangzhou – Three Kingdoms

    These are two of my most favorite of all classics; up there with the likes of Dante’s Divine Comedy, Hugo’s Les Miserables, Dumas’ Count of Monte Cristo, and Plato’s Republic.

    I strongly encourage every serious readers to search out these books. Eternal City is not as well known (published first in 1898) as most classics, but I am convinced that its message will stand the test of time.

    Three Kingdoms is one of the four pillars of Chinese literature, the other three being:

    Outlaws of the Marsh (aka The Water Margin)
    Dream of the Red Chamber
    Journey to the West
