Fadiman's Lifetime Reading Plan - Page 2

This list comes from "The Lifetime Reading Plan" by Clifton Fadiman. It's a type of introduction of works from the Western world though newer editions of the book have included works from China and India among other places. This list is taken from the 3rd edition of the book. The books were grouped as the beginning, the middle ages, plays, narratives, philosophy/psychology/politic/essays, poetry, history/biography/autobiography. Overall there are a lot of works by a variety of authors some you may have heard of and other you may not have. It's a pretty solid reading plan and I would encourage others to get the book as there were a few entries I couldn't get entered due to listchallenges not having them listed.
