You should be more concerned about understanding it than reading it quickly.

Not a good idea, OP. Those are general canonical Western texts with varied focuses and divergent subjects. Ask yourself first why you're interested in exploring them and what you hope to get out of them. If you're interested in philosophy, then check those out. If you're interested in Greek plays, then go early. But with your modern sensibilities, jump into Volume 60, possibly 59, for the most satisfying reads. For everything else, except for Shakespeare, you're better off reading summaries and seeking out more accurate modern translations.

As a final note, you may be interested in exploring literature about "the canon," how it's been assembled and promoted, and why you ought to be skeptical of any attempts to solidify some words as the best words to make the best people. It's tricky territory. Check out the Wikipedia entry for "Western canon" for a great general introduction, and seek out more in the references and sources.

i think 40 pages (minimum) a day is a good target, especially if you're a beginner who plans on reading any serious non-fiction.

Only good book are the first three.

37,000 / 365 = 101.36 pages per day. Perfectly doable, but it would take a few hours a day.
