The only requirement to posting on /lit/ should be Pope's Essay on Criticism.

Of those I've only read the Shakespeare, Iliad, and Dante. But have also read Dostoevsky's 5 major works, War and Peace, Anna Karenina, the Bible, and Moby Dick. Your move anon.

This was pretty much my high school reading list. We didn't read Gravity's Rainbow or Infinite Jest but we did read the Canterbury Tales and Plato's trial and death of Socrates. We also read Macbeth in addition to the other tragedies you listed
