I Need to Read More Classics

I've seen people joining this challenge right and left, and it got me thinking. After the Weekly Geeks Classics week, I realized that there were a lot of classics that I had read, ages ago, and now can remember little to nothing about. That, and there's still a huge pile out there that I haven't read at all. So... sign me up.

I'm going to do the Classics Snack plus Bonus. My list:

1. My Antonia, Willa Cather
2. The Woman in White, Wilkie Collins
3. Tess of the d'Ubervilles, Thomas Hardy
4. Anecdotes of Destiny and Ehrengard, Isak Dineson

Snack: Atonement, Ian McEwan

I'm finishing up The Woman In White now. Great choice! I thought it was a little slow getting going, but it's a wonderful mystery!

I'm thinking about doing The Woman in White.

That's a great list! I read the Woman In White for a book club a few years ago and loved. My Antonia is fabulous too.

I hope you enjoy The Woman in White--I recently read it for a book club, and everyone loved it! I also plan to read My Antonia this year!

Hmm. I wonder which one you voted for! I love this challenge :)

I love My Antonia! Willa Cather is definitely one of my favorite authors.

Just read The Woman in White and really liked it. Tess was also one of my favorite classic reads last year. Thanks for joining the challenge!
