The Classics Club

I plan to read at least 70 classics in the next 5 years and here is where I'll keep track of them.  Where I plan to read a book in the original language, I've indicated the title in the original first, with the English translation in parenthesis. Once a book in this list is read, the underlined title will lead to the relevant post.
