kalavinka's "Book List to Simplify Book Lists"

Add to my lists | Print this list

I don’t read much, especially not the classics, so this list will help me to focus on which books I should read in the near future. The criteria is that the book must be on 4 or more collective lists that I am working on (not lists of individual authors).

Dr. Peter Boxall’s "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die"

Harold Bloom’s "The Western Canon"
