I have a nifty set of the really nice B&N Classics annotated editions which I picked up during various freebie promotions (you can get 3 DRM-free just for signing up an account with them).
Every so often I toy with systematically reading the lot, but then I just pick one which looks interesting and sporadically read it on and off between my other books. So far I've started about a dozen and finished 1 and nearly half or more of five of those (it takes a while to get through the complete Sherlock Holmes stories).
I have to say that the annotations and commentary are really useful, and help with understanding the context and vocabulary of some of the older/more obscure stuff. Who knew that were that many different kinds of horse-drawn carriages available for public transportation back in the Victorian era?
