Review: A disappointing selection.

I purchased this book because of the 200 greatest literary writings.  However, I do not think that when over 150 of the writings are Shakespeare's sonnets and poems that this qualifies as three-quarters of the greatest writings; therefore, very disappointing to me.  Of the remaining 50, I have enjoyed reading many of the stories for the first time; but would have preferred 200 writings by may 100-150 authors not just the 32 presented.
