More of the Most Important of Important Classics - Page 2

Here are more of the most important of the important books in the world among the Classics! A second list for you. Using the football field as an analogy with the books as the football players... all the books on the first list are in the end zone, while all the books on this list are somewhere within the 5 yard-line and the end zone with the line of scrimmage perhaps on the 2 yard-line.
The parameters for Classics that I'm still going with are: 1. transcends place and time (over generations), and 2. at least 50 years old (in 2025). Lots and lots and lots of polls and LISTS have been reviewed to determine which books made this list. Thousands, probably, of respondents helped narrow the field of contestants to these few.
Hope you enjoy these titles as well!
