How do you feel about this chart? And no I'm not trying to make a shitpost I'm being serious. I want to read the greatest works of literature that have ever been written and I think I should start with what I'm vaguely familiar with.
The Western Canon
Chase Thompson
Xavier Evans
It's a nobel effort but ultimately, and willi always be, incomplete.
Bentley Young
Add Hawthrone to USA.
Also Henry James, Walt Whitman and Jack London.
Add Blood Meridian and the Meme Trilogy to 20th century too.
Thanks.
Alexander Edwards
>no Notes from Underground or War and Peace despite having two spots open under Russia
Are you even trying?
Michael Watson
not an interesting personal taste, but also not an accurate representation of the canon
Nathaniel Williams
It's a decent start OP. To be sure, those books are some of the best ever written.
Also check out Harold Bloom's list of the Western Canon:

Sebastian Long
The bare bones of the canon, you'll get quite a lot with all this, but feel free to branch out into other canonical texts as you please
Grayson Brown
I'm certainly using other charts and recommendations to build up my backlog but y'all's input is appreciated
