This list is STILL incomplete. Inspired by:

-Britannica’s Great Books of the Western World, 1st and 2nd editions (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Great_Books_of_the_Western_World)

-The 100 Most Meaningful Books of All Time (http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Literature/Best/2002/100Meaningful/)

-The understanding that Holy books of long-standing religions have great wisdom in them, deal with perennial truths, and have much to teach us, moderns. This despite the fact that they are often neglected by more secular understandings of Great Books.

-The reading list of St. John’s College Western Great Books (http://www.stjohnscollege.edu/academic/readlist.shtml)

-The reading list of St. John’s College Easter Great Books (http://www.stjohnscollege.edu/GI/EC/reading_list.shtml)
