Penguin Classics, the paperback volumes with the familiar black spine 
and the orange-and-black penguin logo, are known to generations of 
former students who struggled through Dickens and dozed through Henry 
James in school.

Not since Penguin started the collection in 1946, however, has anyone 
been able to easily buy a complete set of the books, which range from 
ancient Greek poetry to the novels of Thomas Pynchon and include the 
complete works of Shakespeare, four translations of the Iliad and 20 
volumes each of the works of Henry James and Dickens. (The complete list 
can be found at http://www.amazon.com by searching for "Penguin Classics 
Library".)

The list includes "Gravity's Rainbow" and "Vineland".
