Come on Discord where we will bully you until you read them, and you will hopefully emerge a better person to it. Pseuds need not apply.

Someone should put this and some different "starter packs" into an ebook file thing. I was doing it at one time but got lazy.

Mobi, epub, etc. I think it'd be good.

Your right. Go ahead and do it. Thanks in advance man.

done :)

Is this discord thing bullshit? Is it all autists from Veeky Forums?

>ibsen
ill forgive you because you didnt list that overrated cunt euripides

I never realized before how common the title "Major Plays" is for books.

This is the worst list of essentials I've ever read. What are they essential for? Obviously not for understanding the scope of Western literature.

There are 40-50 people on at any time. About a dozen have actually read 200-500+ books, and have insights more substantial than stupid lol omg xD normie analyses. As far as this board goes, kilogram for kilogram, that's a boatload more quality per capita. Also, where else are you going to talk about books online outside of a university or closed community context? (If you actually know, please tell me, so I can ditch the chat.)

These recruitment threads only pull in good members once in a blue moon, but on Veeky Forums, even only 1% of the time is still a success, so I'm going to call worth, autists or not.

Autism/OCD/perfectionism in the psychological sense is a good thing sometimes. Maybe you'd be less asspained if you tried viewing the world in less negative terms.
