bibliographic manifestations: Classics Club List 3

The Classics Club is a club created to inspire people to read and blog about classic books. Members are invited to make out a list of (at least 50) classic titles they intend to read and blog about within the next five years. I completed my first list in September 2018, and my second list in November 2023. This is my third list and my goal is to read 50 of these titles by December 31, 2028 which means I need to read 10 each year.

There are 63 titles on the list, so I have a few alternate choices. I am setting it as a rule for myself that I cannot add to this list, I have to select from these titles. My posts about this project, both this list and the earlier ones, are here.
