26 Questions in 2026 (#2)

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 plan to answer one question every few weeks throughout 2026. 

 #2 - What classic are you planning to read next? Why? Is there a book first published in 1926 that you plan to read this year?

I don't have a 1926 book on my current list but an earlier list included Will Durant's The Story of Philosophy which was published in 1926.

I'm not sure which one I will read next, I rarely plan that sort of thing in advance, I just pick up whatever appeals to me in the moment. I have a couple of Classics Club titles in progress -- both very slow progress. War and Peace is my "read at lunch at the office" book and has been for several years now--I am making slow but regular progress on it. Several months ago I began listening to One Hundred Years of Solitude on audio in the car, but other things to listen to while I drive keep appealing to me more. Not sure if that one will end up abandoned or not.
