Gacked from rivka: The Penguin Classics Library Complete Collection. Only $7,989.50 (hey, you save $5,326.34, and the shipping is free!)

From Edwin A. Abottt 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 lengthwise atop each other--almost as tall as the Empire State Building. But don't worry, a nice set of bookshelves will hold them side-by-side just fine.

Someone who did buy it took a picture for Amazon. Just look at that. Just look.

Here is the complete list of titles.

Problem I have with the idea is, I don't *like* the Penguin classics editions. The covers are OK, and I don't have a major problem with them being PBs (after all, the idea is to make littrachewer available to the masses) but the ones I've seen are on cheap, dingy, easily-torn paper.
