Ok my friends, I have thought about more aditions and looked up your recs.
The selection is of around 70 books, which is probably way too much for a simple medieval chart, so I need your help with the refining process.
I want to write a brief excerpt for each book to indicate why it's important and worth reading, but it would be literally impossible because of the file size unless the number is shed significantly.
My idea would be to put the following sections, with a small colored frame on each book to indicate the main three divisions, broad European, Islamic and Bizantine.

The picks are as follows:

START HERE
The Autum of the Middle Ages, Huizinga
The most important book without question, it's the key to getting into the Middle Ages without stupid preconceptions.
