During the 1970s and 80s I read nothing but the classics. During that period I think I must have bought everything published by Penguin English Library and Penguin Classics. For space reasons, and because the room they were kept in smelled like a musty old book shop, I have now given most away to charity; however, I have kept my Dickens books.
