Great survey of literature
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I compiled my own reading list after reading this book, and so far have found Van Doren's opinions to be right on the money. Everything he's recommended has been worth the time I invested. It is also a great way to get some diversity in learning. Most of us raised in the US don't really get a first-rate liberal education- Van Doren's book offers a way to do it on your own. I highly recommend it for anyone who really wants to broaden their horizens.
Delightful...

A warm survey of many classic texts and why each are worth reading. I enjoyed it very much.
