The big ones, the ones you are almost guaranteed to read, are the Iliad (they gave us a free copy during Orientation, so that was nice), the Odyssey, the Genesis part of the Bible, Herodotus’ The Histories (highly underrated among students), something by Aeschylus, Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War, Plato’s Symposium, the Aeneid, (pauses to breathe) Augustine’s Confessions (bleh), Dante’s Inferno (pretty cool), Montaigne’s Essays (this one actually seems to get dropped a lot), King Lear, Don Quixote, Pride and Prejudice, Crime and Punishment, and To the Lighthouse.

I hear they added one of Toni Morrison’s novels as well, though I can’t tell you how likely it is to be incorporated into a syllabus yet.

ADORED the Symposium. Still one of my absolutely favorite books.

[Sirius Lee]

There are three on your list that I haven't read: Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War, Montaigne’s Essays, and To the Lighthouse.

But I've read and performed most of the Shakespeare, so...brownie points?

A person after my own heart. I have read several of these.
