40 Classics

40 classics I have read. I haven't read very many classics, and it hasn't really been a big priority. I think I've read more than these though, but these are the ones I could think of and/or that I have logged. It's not a very long list, so I would like to fill some "holes" in my literary experience so to speak. I definitely want to fill his list with more diverse classics from different parts of the world. As it is currently, it's very white.
