Charles Van Doren, The Joy of Reading [1985]

422 entries: 249 monographical, 173 otherwise

Unranked—arranged alphabetically by author

The Joy of Reading, published a few years after his retirement from Encyclopaedia Britannica, gave the author a chance to make his own list of books, after having worked with Mortimer Adler on the second, 1972 version of the latter's book, How to Read a Book. Whereas the Adler book discusses reading generally, with a list tagged on at the end, Van Doren's is similar to Newman's, Dirda's, Seymour-Smith's, Fadiman's, and Ward's in being a book-as-list, giving a short account of each author or work in turn. At times, Van Doren's choices violate the spirit of the endeavor: including a general entry for the Britannica and his father's poetry, for example; he also admits to being a Shakespeare denier. And includes Adler's Syntopicon from the Great Books of the Western World set; that, at least, is an appropriate self-referential move given how important the Great Books set has been to the entire phenomenon of "great books" lists. Despite these drawbacks, the book is an easy enjoyable read. I had not realized when starting this site that the book was revised in 2008, retitled The Joy of Reading: A Passionate Guide to 189 of the World's Best Authors and Their Works. Eventually, I will update this list to reflect that book instead, as per the Greater Books rule of including only the final version of a work.
