A Lack of the Classics

Today, I had the urge to listen to classical music as I read.  I'm doing a lot more reading, and I think that listening to classical music would not be as distracting as the music I currently have, and more enjoyable than silence.

If anyone has some classical music they are willing to share with me, or recommend, I really would appreciate it.  Perhaps I can regain the basic understanding of the great music of days gone by.
