reading list

Recommended titles compilation

A reading list is a collection of books or articles someone intends to read or recommends that others read.

Teachers assign reading lists for courses; critics publish reading lists on topics.

The term often implies aspiration rather than completion: My reading list keeps growing faster than I can get through it.
