A lifetime of must reads
Lately i've really rediscovered a love for reading. Unfortunately, my literary knowledge is adequate at best.
What books would you guys consider must/great reads that have to be done in a lifetime. Please include anything and everything: Fiction, non fiction, biography, philosophy, science, history, etc etc. Let me know what i'm missing. Also, if this thread has already happened (seems like the type that would around here) then my bad and please remove. |

Not saying you want to read everything on the list, but googling for Harold Bloom's "The Western Canon" could be helpful. (It's a list of great books.)
