Goodreads Must Read Classics: 2020/21 Update

"My favorite books are the classics. I'm always searching for "new" classics to read, ones I've not heard of or have overlooked. Let me know which ones you love!" (Goodreads list author)
This list has undergone considerable change since last published around 4 years ago, especially in rankings. I have removed around a dozen suspect entries, but a few "cheats" may have escaped the cull.
