- Classic with Nature in the Title: A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry
- Classic About a Family: The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
- Abandoned Classic: The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri (translated by Dorothy Sayers) (This is a tricky one, because I can’t think of a classic I’ve actually DNFed. But I know I only read parts of Inferno as a student.)
