Can we make a list of books written before 1900 that are actually ENTERTAINING?

All I can think of is Notes from the Underground and the first section of Dracula.

The below disqualifies the work:

>paid by the word / chapter nonsense
>filled with pseudointellectual/ naive ruminations on unfalsifiable psychology / philosophy
>praised by stupid people today
