Compact Classical Education

Listed is a compact list of 37 works, the number came out random, by Greek and Roman authors. This list is meant to be a more compact version of an earlier list that was created that was 100 books. I tried to break this up between Greek authors first and then Roman authors or books written during the Roman era. This should provide a means for others to be able to give themselves a classical education but without spending time and eternity doing it or at the very least as near as a common person can get these days. I've got as many heavy hitters as I could think of here and I hope it's of use.
