I do not normally come up with New Year resolutions, but for 2011 I think I’ll plan to read A Classic per month. Anyone out there wish to join me in this resolution?? First we have to come up with a list of Classics – I suppose there are some that are the most well known, and others that depend on your particular taste. I have started a list here; I ask, if you would – to add to this list.
- Moby Dick by Herman Melville
- The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
- Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
- The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
- A Tale Of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
- Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
- The Adventures of Sherlock Homes by Arthur Conan Doyle
- The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
- Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift
What others would you add to this list?
Hi Adele,
I’ve been reading “Legend of the Seahawk” this weekend & enjoying it a lot. It’s been too long since I’ve read fiction.
I can’t resist suggesting a few classics. I’m not sure I can commit to reading a classic each month, but these are some that come to mind that would be great to read again:
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Native Son by Richard Wright
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Rachel – I’m glad to hear you are enjoying “The Legend of the Seahawk”. Thanks for adding to the list of Classics – how did I miss “To Kill a Mockingbird”.
