Steve Donoghue's Western Canon Starter Kit, Updated

Steve Donoghue, professional book critic and book tuber, has a series of videos recommending a core set of books to give a busy reader a grounding in the works that cast the longest shadows. Meant to be readable in a year, though your mileage may vary and you probably read slower than Donoghue does. He claims to read 150 words an hour.
