This is my actual list of items I intend to buy "someday" (sometimes someday never comes if something feels too luxurious)
Books
The Divine Comedy
Dante Alighieri’s masterpiece, The Divine Comedy is a moving human drama and an unforgettable visual journey through the torment of Hell, the arduous slopes of Purgatory and the glorious realm of Paradise.
Paradise Lost
John Milton's immortal re-telling of the epic tale of temptation and rebellion from the Biblical story of the Fall of Man.
Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist
A Journey of Discovery In this internationally bestselling novel, a young shepherd sets out on a journey across the desert in search of a hidden treasure, only to discover that true wealth lies within. Brazilian author Paulo Coelho weaves a timeless tale about destiny, purpose, and listening to the voice of the heart.
The Way of All Flesh
The semi-autobiographical novel A young man grapples with the hypocrisy and cruelty of his Victorian family, seeking to break free from their suffocating expectations and find his own path in life.
Frankenstein
We will each write a ghost story, suggested the great poet Lord Byron. Sparked by this literary competition, Mary Shelley created her powerful masterpiece about a scientist, who in the process of unlocking the secrets of life, unleashes a monster.
Heart of Darkness
A trading company manager travels into the heart of Africa to relieve the mysterious Mr. Kurtz who has somehow lost his civilized veneer and 'gone native.' Haunting and hypnotic, Conrad's brilliant tale tracks one of literature's most compelling journeys.

The Brothers Karamazov
Four brothers – one, cold and brilliant; one, passionate and pleasure-seeking; one, gentle and kind; one, sly and cruel – become involved in the vicious murder of their own father, one of literature's despicable characters. Andre Gide called Dostoevsky "the greatest of all novelists."
Crime and Punishment
Impoverished and desperate, a young man is driven to the murder of a loathsome pawnbroker - and finds himself trapped in a hell of paranoia and terror. Dostoevsky's enthralling novel is, at once, an extraordinary psychological study, a harrowing mystery and a brilliant detective thriller.
