The Classics

[image error]

I’ve been thinking about reading some of the classics.

This is a list of books that I acquired from Artificial Intelligence.

The list didn’t include full canons, such as those from Shakespeare and Edgar Allen Poe.

Which of these have you read?

Would you recommend any of these?

Are there any books on this list that you haven’t read – but wished that you had?

I’ve placed an asterisk beside the titles that I’ve read.
