I want to know everything. Philosophy, literature, economics, etc. There are a lot of lists and charts on the wiki, but I want a definitive reading list that will make me a cultured and well-read human being. My request is basically for an updated version of the Harvard Classics. Where can such a definitive reading list be procured? Pic unrelated.

>>9739828

>>9739953
but haven't your interests narrowed somewhat

>>9739993
If anything mine have expanded (not the original anon you asked)
>>
>>9739992
I know, but what about after that?
>>
>>9739993
The only interest that has narrowed in learning another language. Too far gone, not enough time.

>>9739929
It's okay anon, it's never too late to break from the monotony and boredom. It'll take time and effort but you can always reignite the flames of passion.

idk it's still there and stronger in some areas but some things i don't care about anymore like politics and science/metaphysics
>>
>>9740600
It's okay to not be interested in certain things, but no matter what don't let that curiosity die.

Many people as they age tend to start thinking they've understood how the world is organized, but given that their) many others think the same, this is clearly not so.

I've studied now Philosophy
And Jurisprudence, Medicine,—
And even, alas! Theology,—
From end to end, with labor keen;
And here, poor fool! with all my lore
I stand, no wiser than before:
I'm Magister—yea, Doctor—hight,
And straight or cross-wise, wrong or right,
These ten years long, with many woes,
I've led my scholars by the nose,—
And see, that nothing can be known!
That knowledge cuts me to the bone.
