Classics I want to read

Updated 11 days ago
81 Books

A list of classics I would like to read.

My criterion for classics at this time: Must be a title I've heard of, and Must be published 1969 or before. (My birth year)

This will be a dynamic list. I will delete these as I read, and add more once I've managed to get through a good number.
