Like the title says, I'm trying to put together a good collection of classic literature. I'm trying to get some good religious, philosophical and historical works (started with books I got for college courses that I wanted to keep or couldn't sell back to the bookstore for whatever reason). Figure I'd post here to see if anyone had any serious suggestions.

Here's what I have so far:

Gilgamesh*
Confucius - The Analects*
Marcus Aurelius - Meditations*
Plutarch - Fall of the Roman Republic*
Plutarch - The Age of Alexander*
Plutarch - The Life of Alexander the Great*
Plato - Trial and Death of Socrates*
Thucydides - History of the Peloponnesian War*
Herodotus - The Histories*

Also, curses! SEN doesn't have collapsing spoiler tags! And please don't suggest the Kama Sutra. >_>

George Orwell - 1984
Ken Kesey - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

and BTW you should be aware that Machiavelli's "The Prince" was actually completely sarcastic, and most of his writings were in support of a republic.

I really need to get some of Plato's stuff.

Lord of the Flies.
