Option 3: This final option lets you put on some classic rock, or other music of your choice, and read a classic genre book. Because I feel a classic really should be older than I am, it must have been originally published before 1956 as well as have the genre listing "classic(s)", which can be embedded.
Summer by Edith Wharton was originally published in 1917 and has the genre listing “classics” by 328 users.
