A Lifetime Reading Plan - Page 2

This outstanding list of classic works is derived from "The New Lifetime Reading Plan: The Classic Guide to World Literature, Revised and Expanded." Also, I have posted (at the link) a companion challenge based on the "Going Further" section of this book; it features recommended works for 100 additional 20th-century authors.
On this list Plato's works are in the reading order recommended in the source book, as an aid for those who, like me, are unsure of an appropriate pattern.
