Philip Ward, A Lifetime's Reading: 500 Great Books to Be Enjoyed Over 50 Years [1982]
1121 entries: 967 monographical, 154 otherwise
Unrankedarranged topically
A Lifetime's Reading, as the author notes, is "divided into fifty chapters, or 'years', to give the reader who requires it a discipline according to which he can pace himself." As with most of the other book-as-list projects documented here (Powys, Van Doren, Fadiman, Dirda, Newman) the work or works noted in the section headings within each chapter do not always capture which works in particular Ward recommends; or, rather, in the section text, he recommends further books as clearly as he does that or those in the section heading. Again, we want to avoid being too liberal in the inclusion of texts or misrepresent Ward's recommendations; but at Greater Books, for these books-as-lists the final result should clearly represent what is in the whole book, not just chapter or section headings.
The biographical blurb included in the bookleaves us unsurprised that Ward's list is one of the few truly-global selections of "great books". A librarian who worked for a variety of institutions in England, Indonesia, Libya, and elsewhere, he wrote not just about literature but also Tripoli: A Portrait of a City and other travel books as well as The Book of Common Fallacies: Falsehoods, Misconceptions, Flawed Facts, and Half-Truths That Are Ruining Your Life.
