300 Classics I've Read

So. When I say "classics", I use it in a liberal way, including not only books hundreds of years old but also recent books I think have a potential of becoming future classics, including fantasy, science fiction and crime novels. I have excluded non-fiction, plays, poetry and short story collections unless the stories can be considered connected or themed. I have also added a three book maximum per author - unless the author in question is Jane Austen - and only one book per series. And with this I leave you my list and hope you enjoy it.
