Check out this collection of about 240 classic authors and their works. I know nothing about the politics behind the Access Foundation, but their mission statement sounds quite sensible to me.

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.

The list sure includes some of my favorites.
