There are some strangely based choices on there for novels like Stendhal's Parma instead of The Red and the Black (probably because everything he did in there was done better in Crime and Punishment) and some pretty generic ones. I would have substituted the Austen, Dickens, Ellison, and Morrison out, but he always throws a few curveballs like The Magic Mountain and literally the entirety of Proust's magnum opus, but I suppose when modernism is concerned Bloom is trying to get the reader to start with the best of the best with no substitutes

For the most part, yeah. I read fervently as a kid, but it was mostly fantasy stuff targeted at a younger audience; Eragon, Rangers Apprentice, stuff like that.
