I would add Jacob Burckhardt's The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy to the book list. It appears to be a glaring omission.

This was one of my favorite college texts. I'm really disappointed that I'd forgotten about it until your comment. Thanks.

Thanks. BTW, Caesar's _The Gallic Wars_ is available online from MIT: http://classics.mit.edu/Caesar/gallic.html
