Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large) Is there an online link somewhere to the complete list?

I had a look for you and found it here:

It is worth reading the original book though, as it has a brief discussion on the reason for the books' inclusion, and comments on the books.

Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large) Thanks! I asked (in part) because this is the kind of GR list where you may well get some additions down the road that aren't actually on Mr. Flyn's original list -- so if there's an online reference to check against, that just makes it easier to help keeping this list in synch with the original that inspired its creation in the first place ...

ETA: In the online list, there's an entry entitled "Sentimental Journey by Gustave Flaubert." That's a conflation of two books -- is it Flaubert's Sentimental Education or Laurence Sterne's Sentimental Journey that's on the original list? (I'm betting on Flaubert but am of course willing to be proven wrong! :) )
