CLASSIC LITERATURE The following is a list of books considered CLASSICS. What makes a book a CLASSIC? Authorities say that it is enriched by timeless symbols, its theme is a profound, mature and significant appraisal of human life; and, of course, the familiar cliché that the CLASSIC “has stood the test of time.” If you need help using the list, ask at the Reference Desk and a Reference librarian will be glad to help you.
