I have read books for 5 categories so far:
- A 19th century classic: The Portrait of a Lady
- A 20th century classic: A Separate Peace
- A classic by a woman author: The Robber Bridegroom
- A classic with a color in the title: The Scarlet Letter
- A classic by an author that's new to you: The Catcher in the Rye
- A classic in translation.
Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak; The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio; Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert - A children's classic.
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson; The Story of Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting; The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis - A classic crime story, fiction or non-fiction.
Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie; The Innocence of Father Brown by G.K. Chesterton; The Deep Blue Goodbye by John D. MacDonald; Fer-de-Lance by Rex Stout - A classic with a single-word title.
Dracula by Bram Stoker; She by H. Rider Haggard; Walden by Henry David Thoreau - A classic that scares you.
Swann's Way by Marcel Proust - A classic travel or journey narrative, fiction or non-fiction.
No ideas for this one -- if you have a recommendation please let me know. - Re-read a favorite classic.
There are several possibilities for this, but I am not much of a re-reader so am not sure I will complete this category.
Looks like you are doing well on this challenge. I may join in on this one next year, although I usually do poorly with challenges.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I like this challenge, though I found it was difficult to match the categories with the few books I had left on my Classics Club list. Now that I am starting a new list those 2 challenges should go together nicely.
