I have read 17 books from that list, and 16 of them were totally solid.
The one I didn't like was The Great Gatsby, but it very well might have been my limitations.
Classics are dubbed so for a reason.
I got myself a list of ~180 books prepared by two lit professors and started going through them, along with books recommended in fora with low signal to noise ratio (not Reddit). Best decision re: choice of books ever.

I've read 20 and I'd say every one was very well written and worth my time. A few weren't for me, but for purely personal taste reasons, not quality.
