Took 4 months to finish, but what a journey. Incredibly insightful, encyclopaedic in scope, full of wit and charm. Included are reviews/recommendations for hundreds of foundational works from antiquity to the modern day (written in 1936). I picked up a copy of the Satyricon because of this and next I'm trying to find Plutarch's Lives and Tacitus's Annals and Histories. It has been a great entrypoint to Roman history for me. Great!
