Classics, Perhaps? - 2021 Update

A year or so ago, I made up a list of all the works on my TBR that could potentially qualify as classics (aka, they were works I had not read that were at least 50 years old). Here's an update on the current situation, minus the ones I've gotten through (to greater or lesser success), plus the ones I've taken an interest in since then. Which ones will prove to be vital to humanity, and which ones could afford to die a quiet death? We'll just have to see.
