There are three on your list that I haven't read: Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War, Montaigne’s Essays, and To the Lighthouse.

But I've read and performed most of the Shakespeare, so...brownie points?

One of my best friends is one of the world authorities on Shakespeare. I send him every weird thing I read about what people are doing to the Bard and love reading his pithy responses. Shakespeare was a favorite when I was less than 10, and one of my best memories was of watching a traditional Shakespearean play in the outdoor garden of our university. Perfect weather. Perfectly thrilled audience. Medieval music.

Another of my friends, now gone, taught Shakespeare at an inner city school. She was magic and held those kids in her hand when she taught. They were extremely protective of her and made sure she was safe in their neighborhood.
