The Editors of the Salem Press, Recommended Reading: 500 Classics Reviewed [1995]

512 entries: 450 monographical, 62 otherwise

Unranked—arranged alphabetically by work

This book, like Masterpieces of World Literature, is a product of Frank Magill's publishing house, Salem Press. Comparing the two lists, one immediately sees many of the same works in both. But the two books are sufficiently distinct to warrant the inclusion of two lists instead of a combination. Since the creation of Greater Books, this book has been revised as Recommended Reading: 600 Classics Reviewed [2015]. Eventually, an updated version of this list reflecting whatever changes have been made will replace this version.
