Classics and Popular Books to Read Over the Next 5 Years - Page 2

I recently joined a 5-year challenge to read 100 books to "fill in the gaps" in the participant's reading. The idea being to read classics/popular books that you somehow missed.
My list is comprised of mostly books from "1001 books to read before you die" and the SF Masterworks series, as well as a handful of popular books that everyone seems to have read but me. I intend to have read all of these by summer 2024!
