Good reading

the long version

A Guided Tour Through The World of Books This useful, time-tested book list enables the intelligent person to select his own reading program from the wealth of the world's important literature with the assistance of a distinguished group of professional counselors. Whether you read for pleasure or for profit, to repair gaps in your education, or because you have never had an opportunity to attend college you will find GOOD READING an immensely helpful guide. This is the 20th Anniversary Edition of GOOD reading which started back in 1932 as a 32-page pamphlet compiled by a group of English instructors. Today, the book has gone through 15 editions, and has been used by more than 500,000 people. It is a required text in many colleges. This new edition has been completely revised and brought up to date, and benefits from the combined experience and judgment of the educators, librarians, and authors who are members of the Committee on College Reading and its Advisory Board. Each of the books on these carefully selected lists, which range from ancient Greece to modern times, is accompanied by a brief description. GOOD READING will help you make better use of your reading time and extend your reading horizons.
