The list seems extremely Western and Christian-centric.
Well, it's English language, so that will give it some bias. It would be great to hear of other suggestions that will broaden the content.
If you're going to have the Bible and the Bhagavadgita, you should also have the Qur'an, the Dhammapada, and the Analects of Confucius.
Our Korans look terrible in HTML, so I chose #12894 instead. Thanks for noticing that omission. It includes Dhammapada. I added our Confucius #3330, though the HTML is not that good. It's readable, though, and our Korans are not.
Would also suggest the Ramayana, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the Manyoshu. Though PG probably doesn't have any of these.
I didn't see them in English. Do you think I should add our Kalevala, and perhaps trade out an American poet? http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/5186 Thanks, -- Greg
