Fancy completing your classics collection? Feeling like there's nothing better out there to satiate your finely honed literary tastes? Boy have I got your solution for you [evil laugh]. Behold! The Penguin Classics Library Complete Collection! Costing a mere 7000 bucks and would take 20 years to read at the rate of one title per week, this is your ultimate TBR pile.

From Edwin A. Abbott to Emile Zola, the 1,082 titles in the Penguin Classics Complete Library total nearly half a million pages--laid end to end they would hit the 52-mile mark. Approximately 700 pounds in weight, the titles would tower 828 feet if you stacked them atop each other--almost as tall as the Empire State Building.

Good grief!! I wonder if anyone has bought this?? I don't know what's with this review, but I think that reading the entire collection in a weekend is a little hard to believe...

I just got the Penguin Collection and it is amazing. I read all the books this weekend and was surprised how quick the read was. I would have preferred eBooks, because now I need to buy 180 more bookcases to contain them all. Its really worth it.
