Classics Read by a Millenial Bookworm Before Age 30

All of the books commonly considered to be classic works that I have read so far. Somewhat arbitrarily, I chose the year 1990 as the cut-off date for publication, meaning I've decided a book has to be at least 30 years old to be considered a "classic".
Unsurprisingly, this list skews heavily towards Western canon. I assure you I am working on diversifying my reading.
