The Oldest Books I've Read

Even books considered "old classics" are often surprisingly recent. The first 5,000 years of written language is drowned in the enormous creative output of the last 125 years, but here is a collection of books I've read originally published before AD1900. Only fiction - plays, novels, novellas, short story collections. Enjoy!
