Ok, so I’m doing this. Not putting any finishing goals yet, because it all depends on my budget to afford them.
Those in bold are the ones that I have already read, and those in italic are the ones I own.
Ps: I know there are two lists, one from 2003 (the one that I am using) and one from 2015. The only reason I chose the 2003 one is because it seemed more classical literature, which I like best.
