My goodness, you have a lot of work in front of you. Miss Daisy called this ambitious, that is an understatement. I think I will print this and try to make a dent in it myself. Thanks for the inspiration.

Looks like a mostly good list of classics. Personally, I wouldn't include Ayn Rand on a list of classics, though. Her work reads like pulp romance novels (poor characterization and all) and, when you consider the kind of extreme right-wing politics she is advocating, comes off as less valuable than them.
