Is their a reading list that somebody compiled similar to /mu/'s 'essentials' list?

It would be a bullshit list filled with generalised pop-history.
Ask for books on a topic on /lit/ or /his/; pray someone who know their shit will respond.

I dislike essential readings, they are most often meme books

About the only field seminal texts I can think of are Whig Theory, Carr's What is History, and Thompson's Making.

Nothing is essential.
