Må få lest mer!

Det finnes selvsagt mange slike må-lese-lister.  Jeg har for moro skyld markert hva jeg har lest. Selv tok jeg mellomfag i litteraturvitenskap i sin tid. Det gjorde at jeg fikk satt meg inn i en stor del av verdenshistoriens klassikere, alt fra  Gilgamesj, til Illiaden av Homer, til Dantes Inferno. Men det meste av dette leste jeg altså før jeg var 25.
