So little time....
I compiled this list when someone said I recently meet said, "I think seemingly there are too many [classics] but that's because people refuse to refine their taste for anything, literature, film, etc." That lead me to compile this ridiculous list of books I have and either haven't finished... or even started! And its not even complete! That will be just way, way, way too long and there is enough dust on my two bookshelves to do that. Ask for a pic... hope still got it. So these are just the ones I want to mention. They do not include anthologies (Lovecraft, Asimov) or major tomes like The Bible and The Koran, which I DO have. Found a lot of misquotes of The Koran. Going to include the genre/subject in parenthesis and those with a '*' I highly recommend.
