Great Classic Literary Fiction (And Drama)James Has Actually Read

The kind of stuff I have read over the years, minus all the genre works and poetry ( hence no H. G. Wells, Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, RL Stevenson, Geoffrey Chaucer, and all of that), the commercial or contemporary plays that are too numerous to list here, and the stuff from school I couldn't remember. I've listed a few genre works here as literary fiction because that's how they are marketed. (I've never found Wilkie Collins in the Mystery -Thrillers section of Barnes and Noble, nor have Orwell and Mandel been put in the Science Fiction section.)
