I am a bit suprised that Mr. Durant doesn't list the Koran, but then perhaps Moslem culture was not as prevalent as it is today, though it has been a major force of cultural change in every era since its creation.
I also wondered if Mr. Durant has considered a list of additional reading, or supplementary selections. Since the list was first compiled almost 80 years, there are a lot of things that are not covered by the list today. Additions to the list will certainly be something to think about and consider as this website progresses.
