Ten Year Reading Plan (Joy of Reading) - Page 2

The book The Joy of Reading: A Passionate Guide to 189 of the World's Best Authors and Their Works by Charles van Doren contains at the end a 10-year reading plan, which the author recommends. It has 10 books per year, focusing mostly on classics. The reason why there are more than 100 books here has to do with the decision of the author to sometimes have larger books considered as two books (for instance, War and Peace), as well as the fact that when the books are usually thought of as separate, I added them here as distinct entries (for instance, the Divine Commedy has 3 items here, one for each part).
