The Greatest Books Top 100: Still Some Way to Go

These are the works from "thegreatestbooks.org" Top 100 that I still haven't read. Perhaps the inspiring scores of the List Challenges heavies will stir me into reading them.
One can confidently say these must be true classics. Why? Because their cover art is mainly done in shades of brown and gold, perhaps with a light touch of red.
