What to read: must-read lists

“What to read?”: When answering this question, people more often rely on lists compiled by famous universities, libraries, publishing houses, websites, and famous people. Are these lists truly impartial, or do they reflect the tastes, interests, and influence of certain groups? To what extent can we trust these lists, and how do they shape reading perceptions and the quality of literature? Literary critics Hayk Hambardzumyan and Arkmenik Nikoghosyan discuss the program “Parallel Readings.”
