FWIW, if anyone cares, my thought process was triggered by all those lists you see that ask "how many of these classics have you read?" If they're really what are considered classics I've generally read many of them, but can I remember anything about them? In many cases, especially if it was one and done decades ago, not really. So do they count? This challenge is not exactly a remedy because I will never reread everything (and some of course I've never read), but it confronts the issue. Or at least that's my intent. I could fail spectacularly.
Thanks for the effort you put into your list.

Some of the books I've listed are classics. They don't have to be that old to be a classic.
The Complete & Uncut version of
The Stand by Stephen King
Sarum by Edward Rutherfurd
Shōgun by James Clavell
The Complete version of
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
Those are the books from my list that I would say are classics.
