Dude go to half priced books or your local secondhand bookstore and just clean house. Classics in particular are a dime a dozen.
Here's a list of "classics" to give you some ideas:
* A Hundred Years of Solitude
* Crime and Punishment
* East of Eden
* Moby Dick
* Shakespeare's collected works
* Bible, Koran, etc - keep as many sacred tomes as you can
* Plato's Republic, maybe some other philosophy classics like Thus Spoke Zarathustra
* Midnight's Children (how old does it have to be to be a classic?)
* Paradise Lost, Iliad, Odyssey
* The God of Small Things

- scott31 6y ago> Bible, Koran, etc - keep as many sacred tomes as you can what makes them sacred?
- wryoak 6y agoPeople make them sacred
- muzani 6y agoEven if you're not a religious person, a lot of effort have been put into writing and preserving them. They were all done from a time when the written word was expensive and rare, and words of gods could not be amended or revised in a future version. There's something sacred in preserving exact words of something over thousands of years, through many languages.
- curi0usttt 6y agoBoth books are a treasure trove of information and history. They are both well written and even for non religious folk can serve as guidance on how to best organize their daily life or at the very least you would want to read them to be more knowledgeable about what the majority of people around you believes in.
