listening challenge: 20 classics you should listen in your lifetime

We’ve already recommended our picks for the 20 best audiobooks of the past 50 years, but now we’re diving deeper into our literary history, temporally speaking. These are our picks for the 50 most essential classic audiobooks. You know, the ones that everyone should get around to listening sooner, rather than later. These audiobooks have meant a great deal to readers throughout the centuries, and they distinguish themselves as firsts and bests, sure, but also unexpected, astonishing, and boundary-breaking additions to the canon. That’s why we’re still reading them. Everyone has his or her own definition of a literary classic, and our choices span the centuries, from the 8th century B.C. to the English Renaissance to the mid-20th century. (We’ve even included a book from the 1990s, as we’re convinced it’s going to go down in history as a classic.) No matter your definition of classic literature, you'll see that these audiobooks have stood—and are standing—the test of time, which is why we think they should be on your must-read list. We’re betting a few of them already are.
