Are you reading them in any particular order, or just whatever you decide looks interesting to read next?

Trebor Nevals said...

It's pretty much a random grab. I like to stir things up. 2-3 classics followed by something nice and historical. I'd hate to get bored and lose interest. But overall, it's just whatever happens to get my attention sitting there on the shelf.

What an impressive list! And it's cool to see the Sauptikaparvan and the Dhammapada tucked in among this mountain of books by Western authors. :)

Yeah well, luck of the draw. These are mostly from one single source of so-called 'classic' literature. I need another series that doesn't overlap with this one and offers the other 80% of world literature. Oxford 'Worlds' Classics my butt. This is almost all European.
