Now in print for almost 40 years, The New Lifetime Reading Plan provides readers with brief, informative, and entertaining introductions to more than 130 classics of world literature. From Homer to Hawthorne, Plato to Pascal, and Shakespeare to Solzhenitsyn, the great writers of Western civilization can be found in its pages. In addition, this new edition offers a much broader representation of women authors, such as Charlotte Bronte, Emily Dickinson, and Edith Wharton, as well as non-Western writers such as Confucius, Sun-Tzu, Chinua Achebe, Mishima Yukio, and many others.This fourth edition also features a simpler format that arranges the works chronologically in five sections (The Ancient World; 300-1600; 1600-1800; 1800-1900; and The 20th Century), making them easier to look up than ever before. It deserves a place in the libraries of all lovers of literature.… (altro)
I have read this several times and revisit it for direction often. If you take self-education and the Western Canon of book seriously, you shouldn't miss this book. ( )

This book was merely completed by me. It was started by William Nichols, the editor-in-chief and publisher of This Week Magazine. Some time ago he asked me to prepare a list of books that might be of use to his readers. He laid down no condition other than that the books be of more than transient interest and value. The list, appearing under his title, The Lifetime Reading Plan, was printed in the April 12, 1959 issue. It was a traditional one, consisting largely of those works of Western thought and imagination generally considered of prime importance and excellence. It started with Homer and came down to our day.
