How does it feel knowing you will never read Moby-Dick or Ulysses, the two best books of the English language, and possibly the best ever.

A mix of Bloom, Penguin Classics and Oxford World Classics.

How are you doing so far? I'm finding the beginning rather difficult because you've got religious texts and epics to go through, which tend to be rather lengthy.

It does sadden me somewhat, but there are also many things which I will never do or have that sadden me. Figuring out how to stop the sadness is something I'm working on...

Have fun being done in a decade

which canon?

origin, type, fiction, non-fiction`?

I don't know why /lit/ doesn't have a western canon chart?
I mean, we have a lot of 'start with the greeks' but then I don't know what to read after the greeks.

there are less than 1300 books in most canons, can be done in 10 years 20 at most easily. But reading the entire canon is boring as hell, the tangents are the 'sunshine of reading' if reading a good novel by a dude whose only scraped one novel intot the canon doesn't make you read some more of him then what's the point?

Is there a non-fiction canon?

The point is that nobody can say an authors name that i don't know, thus making me look stupid.
