Philip Ward's Lifetime Reading Plan
Alternative link
An "ambitious plan to guide readers through the great books":
"Like most professional librarians, I have at one time or mehr anzeigen another glanced across a library to see a man or woman of eighteen to twenty daunted - even bewildered - by the sheer richness of the library treasures that are waiting to be enjoyed, the great minds to be understood, the poet's voices to be heard, the characters of fiction to be encountered. My heart has been touched by the magnitude of their choice. I long to offer them the plays of Euripides and the stories of Isaac Babel, the love songs of Dante and the wisdom of Mencius. But I know help must be given only when sought. A maturity that is bullied into life is not worth having. So I have written this book - fruit of a lifetime's reading happily not quite over - in the hope that it will serve as a literary guide to readers looking forward to many thousands of hours of pleasure."
Note: there are about 500 anonymous works plus authors on the list, and many of the known authors have multiple books listed. weniger anzeigen
