My Great Books Reading List
Although I think I’ve gotten a pretty good education so far, I’ve always been a little insecure and a little upset about the fact that I never got to read so many of the classic texts that have influenced and shaped Western culture and the world. My belief in the general importance of this, and the deeper importance for my case since I hope to be a philosopher and an academic, has led me to compare various lists of the “great books” and compile my own, which I hope to read through over the next several years. Although I may add or subtract a few works, my list can be accessed here. I welcome anyone else to use it and read along with me.
