The Penguin Classics Library Complete Collection

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/014...4519817-7552742

From Edwin A. Abbott to Emile Zola, the 1,082 titles in the Penguin Classics Complete Library total nearly half a million pages--laid end to end they would hit the 52-mile mark. Approximately 700 pounds in weight, the titles would tower 828 feet if you stacked them atop each other--almost as tall as the Empire State Building.

Complete list by author

Complete list by title

Some of the authors are...
Charles Dickens (19 titles)
Graham Greene (19 titles)
Henry James (20 titles)
William Shakespeare (47 titles)
John Steinbeck (23 titles)

At one book a week it would take you about 20 years to read them all. lol

Oh and its on sale right now, normally its $14,000 bucks USD but right now its only $8,000 bucks USD, get an extra 30 bucks off if you use visa. lol

I don't even want to think what shipping would cost lol

How about this. If you don't like something don't post crap about it, don't say anything about it, just don't hit the reply button, its just that simple isn't it.

This topic was made because I thought it was funny and amazing that Amazon was offering over 1000 titles of some great authors all in one collection.

Personally I would love a collection like this, I have no place for it, but to have so many books by so many different people would be great.

Its the entire Penguin Classics collection so I guess if they are not penguin books they would not be included in that collection, or if they are not considered classics then they wouldn't be in there either.

Either way its still a great collection:)
