I hate for a thread to die just for my simple question, so how about a thread where you can ask small questions and get small answers.Is there anything akin to an "encyclopedia of common literary allusion"? Say if I want to look up a reference in a book, anywhere from Greek to Biblical to Modern, without having access to the internet. I am not the most well read guy and I don't have a cell phone so this would be pretty helpful.

>>23539959>Common Knowledge: A Reader's Guide to Literary Allusions by David Grote>Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, Giving the Derivation, Source, or Origin of Common Phrases, Allusions, and Words That Have a Tale to Tell by E.C. Brewer
Is there a chronological reading list for philosophy anywhere? I've read the pre-socratics, plato and aristotle, but where do I go after that? Do I really skip ahead to middle ages? Doesn't that leave a massive gap?I understand that there might be historical context I am missing.

>>23539959The fact that it's moliere ruins the dark academia tortured poet vibe the picture seems to be going for
>>23539959That's one poopy butthole
>>23539959The Oxford Dictionary of Reference and Allusion is probably the only one I am aware of.I cannot tell if those are razor bumps or dessicated soap bubbles. Just shave with the goddamn grain if you cannot shave against correctly.
