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".
