The Ultimate List of Classics That I've Actually Read

Tired of all the lists of classics that everyone should read mostly containing books I haven't read, I decided to put together a list of books that I've actually read. Some rules: Only novels or connected short stories - no poetry, no drama and no non-fiction. Only one book per series. A maximum of three books per author, unless the author is Jane Austen. Only books already listed in List Challenges.
