Classics Challenge 2009

Posted by Preethi Mahalingam at 2:19 AM


Classics have always been my personal favourite and in my 'growing up' years I remember being totally intrigued by Jane Austen's works. There was a time when I was engulfing so many classics as it transported me to a world so different than mine. However after a while the number of classics read started dwindling to a point where I forgot how it feels to read one . To re kindle my love for classics I have joined the Classics Challenge hosted by Trish .
I have opted for the 'Classics Snack' where I need to read 4 classics by the end of the year .
My list so far (subject to change) :
1. Animal Farm - George Orwell
2. Anne of Green Gables - L.M.Montgomery
3. Little Women -Alcott
4. (Thinking which one to choose ...suggestions are welcome )

    Thanks for joining the challenge! I'm not sure what kind of books you like to read or which ones you've already read but The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins is fantastic. Wuthering Heights is my favorite and Jane Eyre seems to be a favorite amongst many.

    Enjoy!
