Welcome to the GPGC's Bookstore - in association with booksXYZ.com. Listed below is a smattering of books drawn from the GPGC's reading list as well as Program culture. If you would like to purchase one, or just look at more information about the book, please click on the title or on the book's cover. You will be taken to booksXYZ's website where if you buy the book, a percentage of the price will be given to the Program.
We have begun a bit of an update to this part of the site. Below you will find "official" GPGC books. This list will be sorted in a more logical manner in the coming months, as titles are added.
One of the cornerstones of the GPGC's academic curriculum is the Great Books. More information about this can be found by clicking here.
We have also added a new page, devoted to reading recommendations from GPGC alumni. Browse through them by clicking here.

Books That Changed The World by Robert Downs.
This book provides a good grasp on the ideas and concepts from more than 27 books - and also the historical context in which they were written and why they "changed the world." A classic book the GPGC could not do without.
Utopia by Thomas More, translated by Paul Turner.
Oedipus the King by Sophocles, translated by Stephen Berg.
We all know this should be Oedipus Rex , but that's Latin anyway and this is a Greek play.
