I haven't done this for some time and thought that with fall finally settled in, I would try this again.
Here are the guidelines:
- Go to your blog.
- Pick twenty books that you’ve got left to read from your Classics Club List.
- Try to challenge yourself: list five you are dreading/hesitant to read, five you can’t WAIT to read, five you are neutral about, and five free choice (favorite author, rereads, ancients — whatever you choose.)
- Post that list, numbered 1-20, on your blog by next Monday.
- Monday morning, we’ll announce a number from 1-20. Go to the list of twenty books you posted, and select the book that corresponds to the number we announce.
- The challenge is to read that book by January 5, even if it’s an icky one you dread reading! (No fair not listing any scary ones!)
Here is my list:
- Middlemarch
- Little Women
- Jane Eyre
- North and South
- The Canterbury Tales
- Tess of the D'Urbervilles
- Madame Bovary
- The Count of Monte Cristo
- The Woman in White
- War & Peace
- Lady Susan/ The Watsons/ Sandition
- Cranford
- The Age of Innocence
- Bleak House
- The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
- Great Expectations
- Mary Barton
- Tess of the d'Urbervilles
- The House of Mirth
- The Orestia
I am probably hoping for either The Woman in White (No. 9) or The Count of Monte Cristo (No. 8), but am dreading if I get No. 10 (War & Peace) or No. 14 (Bleak House)
