  1. I'm unfamiliar with most of these, so I can't say great choices. I hope you enjoy them though! Cheers.

  2. Yeh, you've found me out! I define "classic" mainly by time (50 or more years old) than by the meaning of "an outstanding example." I also choose per "how long it's been on shelf, unread."
