I looked at the list of works they include and they looked interesting, so I started reading the first volume which begins with Benjamin Franklin's autobiography. The entire collection is available online at www.bartleby.com/hc and th is is where I am reading it. I have read a little more than half of Franklin, and he is very fascinating. I was wondering if anyone on here has read all 51 volumes, or perhaps ust a large portion of them, and can provide a brief review of which works they liked the best and the least, how long it took to read the whole thing, and if it was worth it. I'm also wondering if anyone has read the Harvard Classics shelf of fiction which is 20 volumes of famous novels.
