I wish I’d seen that one 25 years ago! I was a new-ish mom with a toddler and a newborn when that came out, so small wonder I missed it. (But we had a subscription to the AJC, so…)
Hands down, the Honest Broker’s “immersive Humanities course,” which I’m 18 weeks into and starting Week 19’s Bhagavad Gita today. I have appreciated the structure, starting with Plato and moving through the ancient world. Since it’s only a year, I can see a finish line of sorts, although now it feels a little like I’ll only be getting to the end of the beginning.
I was not even a year old when that list was in the newspaper! My first "list" I started reading of off was either 1001 to read before you die, or the "Rory Gilmore reading challenge" (all the books, mostly classics, in the background of Gilmore Girls)

I look to Harold Bloom's "The Western Canon" for reading inspiration from time to time.
I just got that recently. I need to thumb through it.
Any chance you’ve digitized that list?
No, I haven't. Just those photos.
