on the lines of the previous thread by someone…great post btw.
Has anybody ever read the classics?
iliad, odyssey, don quixiote, the republic, decline of the roman empire, the inferno?
i love to read. mostly history and biographies. but i feel that no matter how many books i’ve read, as long as i haven’t read the ‘classics’, i’m still not well read.
what constitutes being ‘well-read’
i wanna be a snob. help me out. if i were to read:
1 biography
1 epic
1 historical account
which 3 books should i read? ideally i’d love to hear from people who has actually read the books.
currently i’m working through 3 but am close to completing them
1 biography - winston churchill
1 epic - romance of the three kingdoms
1 historical account - the neanderthal enigma
why 3 at time? just like flipping channels. there aer dry spots in every book. small break only serves to revive interest.
thanks
