30 Classics to Read Before 30

I turned 25 earlier this year and this is the list of classics that I would like before turning 30! The list makes an effort to include books that focus on queer people, people of color and disabled people. The list is in no way exhaustive, just books that I'm most excited about now with few pieces meant to challenge me.
