Harold Bloom's list is gargantuan. I need a hand here, /lit/

Just work through Blooms list in a haphazard sort of way. Go chronological, use wiki, find what sounds interesting to you and read it. Move on from an era when you feel like it.

you could check out columbia's literature humanities reading list. It's essentially a much abbreviated western canon

There are shorter lists on the same website where you find Bloom's list.

Start with the Bible and finish with the Bible.

I hated all the Start with the Greeks guides, so I made my own reading list for the Greeks and Romans. But it's long. If you want, I can send it to you, and if you really care, I could bold the stuff which is essential. I was gonna make a chart out of it but never got around to it.

You can check out the Thomas Aquinas College syllabus: https://thomasaquinas.edu/a-liberating-education/syllabus

You were unhappy with the existing charts because they were too short, or for other reasons? Have you gone through your entire list yet?
