The Classics Club is a club created to inspire
people to read and blog about classic books. There’s no time limit to join and
you’re most welcome, as long as you’re willing to sign up to read and write on
your blog about 50+ classic books in at most five years.
Here
is my list of 50+ classics that I will endeavor to read and blog about between
September 2012 (now) and September 2017 (that is, within 5 years) September 16, 2018 (that is, within 6 years). I plan to
read 50 of these titles. There are more than 50 titles on the list, so I have a
few alternate choices. I am setting it as a rule for myself that I cannot add to
this list, I have to select from these titles. My posts about this project are here.
