I need to catch up /lit/. I enjoyed reading books maybe 5-6 years ago, but then I never wanted to until now, when school's over for a couple of years for me. >>9678288 pretty much sums it up. Anyhow, I feel like I need a backlog of what could be concidered "essential reads", so not just any book regardless of how good it is. Preferrably a book of philosophical or cultural importance that may have had a conciderable effect on either of those two.
Maybe 50 in total would give me a decent backlog? I think the following may be included in that 50-book list, but I'm not sure.
>1984
>Animal Farm
>The Bible
>Atlas Shrugged
>Crime and Punishment
>War and Peace
>The Trial
>The Prince
>Ulysses
>Das Kapital
>Mein Kampf
>The Divine Comedy
Should I remove any of these from the list? What should I add? Remember quality ss not really the most important parameter here, more so cultural, political and philosophical impact , and historical importance. So I'm not memeing about the Bible, Das Kapital and Mein Kampf.

read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintenance, one of the best philosophical books out there.

If you haven't read 1984 yet, you have not business considering Ulysses...Just read this.

Read them in this order:
>Animal Farm
>1984
>The Trial
>The Bible (Start reading and continually read throughout the rest of these. Don't skim.)
>Crime and Punishment
>Atlas Shrugged
>War and Peace
>Mein Kampf
>The Prince
>Das Kapital
>The Divine Comedy
> Are you SURE you're ready?
> No, really, are you sure?
> Don't kid yourself.
> You finished the Bible right?
> Okay.
> Ulysses
