Nobody is stopping you from reading the exact same books you get assigned in grad school in exactly the same order and at exactly the same pace.

You have only your own laziness and desire for socially recognized certification to blame for your tuition.

Be more courageous and stop being afraid of living an economically precarious life.

Grad school is a place for hug-boxing and pandering. It's also a pyramid scheme called Academia. It's also your own insecurity and need to be validated by grades and experts.

It’s possible, I’m just saying that if you spend 40-50 hours a week chasing some corporate agenda, you won’t have 40-50 hours (or the equivalent energy) to read what you need to read in order to reach the goals of personhood (I’m taliking about philosophy, not fiction). Any person that works an office job is a dead-end normie. No offense, I just think that studying 40 hours a week allows a person to achieve a completely different reality than the reality of the desk-slut. Completely different.

Modern Library copies are usually a good choice, I have several. They aren't as nice as the Everyman's editions in my opinion, but the binding is sewn and the paper isn't flimsy. Occasionally I prefer them over Everyman's for certain translations. The only drawback is that they can get pretty pricey.

As for Blood Meridian, there's a 25th anniversary HC release that you can purchase new for around $20.

I'm not the guy you originally replied to, but what I, personally, would consider classic fantasy is stuff before the Wheel of Time.
Mervyn Peake, Ursula K. Le Guin, T.H. White, Lord Dunsany, Jack Vance, Michael Moorcock, Fritz Leiber, Robert E. Howard, etc.
