Markd9528's Choicest Classics

In an attempt to keep up with the latest trends on List Challenges, this is my version of 100 or so classic works. I have also imposed the restriction of only one work per author. I would be surprised if you haven't already enjoyed the majority of these works or wouldn't enjoy reading most of them in the future.
