The Great Books

The Access Foundation holds that time spent reading the Great Books is time well spent. Great books lists are not meant to be exclusive of any tradition or culture, but rather form a foundation of knowledge on which to stand. Reading the great books allays the "busyness" of modern life; encourages self-examination, increases reflection, and provokes intellectual curiosity. From the ancient classics to the masterpieces of the 20th century, the Great Books "are all the introduction you’ll ever need to the ideas, stories, and discoveries that have shaped modern civilization."
