essential gamer reading list.

Where can I find a timeline for literature? I've been starting with the Greeks and have read a few things but I want to move through the canon chronologically.

I found this
>http://www.ancient-literature.com/timeline.html
but don't feel it's specific and large enough. Help pls?

Complete works by Plato, Aristotle, and Homer. Also Porphyry and Averroes.

Books are vast field needed to wrap around so I made a few lists. Can you guys check these lists and tell me what to add, what to remove, and how to accommodate the fields properly?

Say you actually do start with the Greeks:

Does it imply that you have to read literally everything from Plato, then proceed to literally everything from Aristotle, and so forth, or is the meme merely suggesting to read the most important works by each?

I won't give you a hard answer but I can tell you why you're failing. You come to the literature board expecting to be spoonfed an arrangement of words that will suddenly invigorate you... instead, you should

START WITH THE GREEKS

I wanna do the "start with the greeks" meme but I'm not sure what to read. I came across this list below about the great books of the wester world:
https://www.logos.com/product/55052/great-books-of-the-western-world
It seems good but I wanted to know if it was a exhaustive collection. Reason being is that I'm a absolute autistic completist that wants to have the full history so that I don't feel as though I'm missing something.

So, if this list isn't complete enough, can you guys please recommend be all the books I should read? I'm aiming to read a books a week and don't mind even if it's gonna take me years.
Also, none of that start with the greek infographs of books to read. That's because I know damn well those things aren't exhaustive and like I said earlier, I'm a completist autist that likes to read all of a certain genre.

>comedy = funny.

You illiterate pleb have not started with the Greek, I see. If you did, you would know that comedy simply is a story that goes from a bad situation to a good situation, while tragedy is a story that goes from a good to a bad situation.
And that is why the Divine Comedy is called a comedy. It goes from bad (hell) to good (paradise).

Sounds like a pleb didn't Start with the Greeks.

What's your point?

I agree school should be supplementary to parentage. Maybe its the way I was raised. Probably.

And as long as those one in a thousand do the same and impart the lessons they learned to their children, perhaps it will multiply enough to begin to mean something one day. One can hope.

But of course.

hey /lit/ I want to start reading books more and wanted to see if you have any recommendations for me? I know you guys always say start with the greek as a meme but are you also being sincere about it? I'm an advocate of dark tragedy stories, not necessarily edgy horror stuff. But rather thought provoking with a damn good plot! Thank you in advance!
