Catching Up With the Classics: 100 Novels Jim Thinks He Should Probably Read - Page 2

100 Classic novels I haven't read yet but think I probably should if I really want to consider myself "well read". All those plays and scripts I read, studied, directed, acted in, stage managed, and/or worked tech on took up a lot of my life, so I'm a little behind in my literature consumption. I'm limiting this list to classic and modern classic literary fiction; my love for and voracious consumption of mystery, crime, horror, fantasy, and Science Fiction can be found in my other lists.
