Just a quick clarification for my followers. If you see an asterisk by one of the books I've read, it means it is classic literature. As you will soon realize, there are very few of those. I now have no doubt that I will be able to read 50 books by October, but I am less certain of whether I will be able to fulfill the requirement that half of them be a work of classic literature.
There are essentially two reasons for this. One: many of the classics are dense and wordy and take an unearthly amount of time to wade through, therefore me slowing down. And two: I am maybe not high-brow intellectual enough when faced with a stack of books, to choose the lit. It's a personal flaw that I am working to overcome. So now you know.

Take a look into I, Claudius. I think it would qualify as classic literature, depending on your definition. I've seen it on several top 100 lists. It's well written, full of interesting history, humor, and is not as dense as some of the classical stuff. Just finished it last month and enjoyed it.
