Last year I started reading this collection with the personal goal that I would finish the whole darn thing. After about 30 books, I lost steam at The Three Musketeers and could never get past it. It's now been way too long since I've read any of these classics, so I'm going to do what any normal, non compulsive person would do and stop forcing myself to read them in order of their placement in this book, and instead will be reading them as they catch my fancy. I am keeping track of which books I've read below.

Good selection of books. The Kindle edition is the pits. It gets an error and must be deleted and re-downloaded at least once in each reading session. Horrible reading experience. I will change to a proper book for what I'm reading now.
