26 Questions in 2026

To kick off the new year the Classics Club posted a list of 26 questions designed to help members consider their relationship with reading classics. I love this idea, but want to take a slow approach to this so I can really think about my answers. I plan to answer one question every few weeks throughout 2026. 

 #1 - When did you join The Classics Club? How many titles have you read for the club so far? Share a link to your latest classics club list.

I joined the club in September 2012. It took me until 2018 to read my first list of 50 titles. I finished my second list in November 2023 and started in on my third (and current list) which will ideally be completed by December 31, 2028. From the beginning I have set the additional rule for myself that once I compile a list--which has more than 50 books on it--I can't add to it, I have to select my 50 books from the compiled list. I have finished 10 books from my current list so my grand total for the club so far is 110 books read.

    I like your slow and thoughtful approach to answering these questions Mary!
    You are tougher on yourself than I am - I constantly switch books in and out of my CC list of 50 :-D

    Good luck on your current list! What a good idea to answer one question at a time. I thought maybe 26 was too many, but this is a good solution.
