I've read lots of classics. I don't read to a system. Usually I try something, and if I like it, I read more of that.
If I don't like it, I may wait a few years and try it again. Tastes change over time and reading is an education in itself.
Taking notes? Buzzkill. Reading everything 3 times - only if I like it, then I'll probably read it more times than that. Otherwise, buzzkill.
There are more classics than you'll ever have time to read in a lifetime - that's actually a good thing. Whatever you choose to read will improve your mind and maybe your soul. Have fun, don't make another job of it.
But you do have to read Jane Austen. THAT'S a given.
