I love that idea about what Dantes would have read. Many of these books that have stood the test of time have been a part of western classic education for a significant period of time, so it would make sense. Though I imagine most of it would’ve been conveyed to him orally by the Abbé.

Anyway, books which list books have been a fascination of mine since first reading _The Count of Monte Cristo_ (really enjoyed Louis L'Amour's _Education of a Wandering Man_, as well as Holly Ordway's _Tolkien's Modern Reading_).
