Thread: Lifetime Reading List

  1. #1

    Lifetime Reading List

    Just came across this link to a readling list of Great Books/Classics.

    It looks interesting.

    My apologies if it is posted elsewhere in this forum.

    Yikes! It seems I have a long way to go!
    I can agree a lot with the list compiler's taste, but some of the books, I have never even heard of, let alone read.

    I certainly agree with mono. I myself have a list of classic books, but none of them even come close to the books on the link! However, my objective for today is to print that list and post it up my wall. Thank you very much for providing us that link, Sitaram.

    I like how the list devides books by period. I suppose that allows someone to read several books with a same theme so that the reader is completely immersed in the genre for some time.
