Although I do think reading a few classics could be something fun to attempt someday.Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707241263291051104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020489254253565556.post-48983296842602539472010-02-26T19:08:12.056-05:002010-02-26T19:08:12.056-05:00I haven't read any of Austen's stuff eithe...I haven't read any of Austen's stuff either...BUT I have seen both the BBC and the recent versions of P&P!

In fact, I think the only classics I've read are the ones that were required in college. I'm thinking of reading two in the month of May though. I've started a monthly goal/challenge for myself and want to make one of the months a "Literacy Month." Got any ideas for me?Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345244543899178740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020489254253565556.post-47581598528377502712010-02-26T13:27:40.560-05:002010-02-26T13:27:40.560-05:00Omg you should totally check out my Classics Chall...Omg you should totally check out my Classics Challenge post on my book blog :) http://homebetweenpages.wordpress.com/challenges/must-read-classics-challenge/<br /><br />This was the original post that inspired it all: http://homebetweenpages.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/gaps-in-my-education-help-a-girl-out/Rachel Manwillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625682317824089524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020489254253565556.post-60553059162012302572010-02-26T13:16:44.890-05:002010-02-26T13:16:44.890-05:00PS: I'm a voracious reader and I've only r...PS: I'm a voracious reader and I've only read 19 of the "official" list and 22 from the reader's picks. There are several on the official list that I started and found too boring to finish. And not one of my most favorite books is on either of the list. The Canon is definitely not closed or fixed.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338949204492816733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020489254253565556.post-63717392794791288902010-02-26T13:10:49.670-05:002010-02-26T13:10:49.670-05:00P&P is great, but Persuasion is my favorite an...P&P is great, but Persuasion is my favorite and is considered by scholars to be Austen's most mature work.<br /><br />I've never read Moby Dick.

I tried to get through The Age of Innocence last year and just couldn't make it. I recently read Dracula and loved it, though.Courtney Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17408985777057593161noreply@blogger.com
