Stoner gets my vote.
I'm not familiar at all with those, sorry.
Currently reading Scholasticism.
Read Hunter, but instead of Rum Diaries read Hell's Angels

Get a new stack
Don't listen to the other user, read plutarch
Read Eco and tell me how it is
>1984
>Wise blood
>The idiot
>War and war
>pnin
1984
>Crime and Punishment
>Being and Time
>Man's Search for Meaning
>Paradise Lost
>Meditations
Read in this order- 3, 4, 5, 2, 1
(You) can knock out the first two by Monday evening. I chose Voyage first because it's fun and the rainy, Fall weather in my neck of the woods suits it. I chose Plutarch last because it's a good transition book from Greeks to Romans. The most USEFUL book on your list is Ovid's; the BEST book on your list is Thucydides'. And yes, I've read them all.
Put Meditations by your bedside to read in bits and pieces. When finished, replace it with Milton. Begin 'seriously reading' Crime and Punishment, however.
