I was recommended Stoner by someone I respect. "Lists" of serious literature are usually crap; either apple polishing bullshit, or political oriented nonsense. I've tried this sort of thing; even Adler related "Great Books" groups are hot garbage at this point. You need to find well read people worthy of respect.

Anyway, Bloom's list: http://sonic.net/~rteeter/grtbloom.html

Adler's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Books_of_the_Western_Wor...

Stoner isn't on either one of them lists, FWIIW. Neither are other favorites of mine, such as The Bjorndal Saga.
