100 Classics Challenge

I've read all these. How many have you read? I started reading classics in 1975 with just a few and then really kicked in gear after graduating from college in 1993. We called ourselves "the academy" patterned after the French Academy. The Académie was officially established in 1635 by Cardinal Richelieu, the chief minister to King Louis XIII. There are no plays or poems listed. with maybe a few epic and long narrative poems.
