Hello, this year I am going to be dedicating myself to reading the most important/notable literature of our civilization, some I have read already but I am looking for recommendations of timespans I am missing. I know there are likely niche books that may be more well regarded, and I may appear ignorant for not listing them, I am only looking for recommendations of “popular”works for their time period I’ll give examples of my list so if you feel like recommending something you’ll understand the vibe I am going for
1.) Epic of Gilgamesh
2.) The Odyssey
3.) The Iliad
4.) The Republic
5.) Nicomachean ethics
6.) The Holy Bible
7.) Dantes Inferno
8.) Paradise Lost
9.) Grimm’s Fairy Tales
10.) The Communist Manifesto
11.) Atlas Shrugged
12.) Anthem
13.) The Wealth of Nations
14.) For Whom the Bell Tolls (Hemingway)
15.) The Old man and The Sea
16.) Of Mice and Men
17.) 1984
19.) Brave New World
20.) Blood Meridian
21.) Brothers Karamazov
If you have any recommendations please list them, I also know I don’t have anything from China because I am not from that culture, but any translated works I would read. Again I am looking for a general arch of works
