A few weeks ago my Shakespeare professor told the class that we all need to read Plato's "Apology" before we graduate. It wasn't an assignment required for class, but just something to for general learning purposes.
Last week, my Acting professor told us she wouldn't allow us to graduate unless we'd read "King Lear".
These two incidents combined with my general love of acquiring knowledge, and the feeling that I'm not acquiring that much at my current institution have set me on a quest:
By the time I graduate in May of 2008, I would like to be armed with knowledge. I want to know literary classics, important philosophical theories, political speeches, scientific concepts, artists, poets, soccer players, anything and everything.
But I don't know where to start.
I'm looking to you, the denizens of the vast Internet, for help. What do you think I should know?
My List thusfar:
Plato's Apology
Plato's Phaedo
King Lear
Poe's "Beauty and Art"
