Classical Liberal Reading Lists (DRAFT)
Full List in MLA Format (may be slightly out of date at any given time)
Suggestions:
If possible, try to include a link to the Amazon.com page for the item. That will make compiling a bibliography a lot easier -- the Amazon page usually has full citation information. If the item is available for free on the net, by all means include a link to the free source as well.
Zotero is an awesome bibliography manager for Firefox. If you do any sort of writing which requires citations, you need this extension. It's like Endnote, only better and free. It will snarf the bibliographic data right out of a book's web page on Amazon or from pages generated by most of the major library catalog software vendors and online academic journals. It lets you export the data in dozens of different academic bibliographic styles. It rocks. Hard.
