The Classics Club

I've been following A Room of One's Own for a while, but I don't know why I haven't jumped on The Classics Club sooner. The basic rules are - supply a list of 50+ classic novels that you'd like to read along with a goal for when you'd like to complete said list. Post that list and start reading. That's the super incredibly simple version of Jillian's rules - travel on over to her blog for a more complete understanding of how to join.

My goal is to read 75 classics by the end of 2017. That's about 15 classics a year.
