Every Amazon user should have a copy (24/25 people found this helpful)
A most useful and readable book. Starting with the Epic of Gilgamesh (about 2500BC), the first written story, the authors give guidance and opinion on all the great works of literature up to the new millennium. That's quite a few books, hence the title. I found the summaries of the books to be free of affectation and eminently readable in themselves, certainly not too 'highbrow'. I have had my book for a couple of years and it sees regular use, I strongly commend it to fellow bibliophiles.
