one of those m-type things

(Gacked from primsong)

I've put the ones I've read in bold, the ones I intend to read in italics. Feel free to keep the party going by doing your own version. My own added twist: ones that I've read and wouldn't recommend are struck through.

The Confessions (Augustine) - although, really, this is so much more than a memoir...
The Complete Essays (Michel de Montaigne)
In Praise of Folly (Desiderius Erasmus)
Letters (Marcus Tullius Cicero)
Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis) - again, it's more philosophy than personal memoir, and the first few chapters are really thought-provoking on morality's cnxn to religion
Meditations on First Philosophy (Rene Descartes) - a classic, but you need to know it because you need to know it, rather than because it's actually a good read
Orthodoxy (Gilbert Keith Chesterton)
Walden (Henry David Thoreau)

The Crucible (Arthur Miller) - Maybe it's my place in history, but any interesting bits seemed hopelessly obvious to me...

Poetry

The Iliad (Homer) - not the originals (here + The Odyssey) but I've read the stories in various retellings, as a kid
The Odyssey (Homer)
Odes (Horace)
Divine Comedy (Dante Alighieri)
The Canterbury Tales (Geoffrey Chaucer)
Sonnets (William Shakespeare)
Paradise Lost (John Milton)
Idylls of the King (Alfred Lord Tennyson)

Now I am feeling surprisingly literate. :-)
