Is trying to follow the Western Canon basically a joke? It seems silly to me that a handful of individuals want to organize all of western literature and have everyone else read "the right way" Doesn't it make a lot more sense to follow your interests and develop your reading and analytical skill over time rather than trying to make everyone do the same thing that a few see as correct?
At the very least, what was your timeline of books?
>>
Some people think of civilizations as hive-minds and individuals as drones in those minds. These people want to be administrators in the imaginary networks that distribute culture to drones. You know, like in Paradox games and StarCraft.
There are other people who develop an interest in the canon naturally and recommend it on the basis of the merits that they find in it. There are good books in there. Fuck you if you disagree, you're literally not worthy of the gift of literacy if you can't appreciate a single work in the Western canon.
