Well Rounded Reader

This is a longer list encompassing 10 books per topic namely history, poetry, philosophy, poetic epics, science, mythology, law, government, plays, strategy/war, novels, and religion. The ideal goal would be to read around 5 books from each section to be well-rounded, or more well-rounded at least, but all 10 per topic could also be read. The list is not all-encompassing but is more about giving a person an idea as to literature that has been impactful while also providing a framework of sorts that others could use to make their own lists by providing the topics in question.
