The 10 Essential Penguin Classics

Become well-read in a few weeks (or less) with this minimalist list from Penguin! I stumbled across it while looking for recommended translations of "The Castle" by Kafka. Ranked in descending order.
The source article features "Why It's a Classic" and "What It Influenced" notes for each work.
