The Classics Club: Reading Challenge

This will be the second reading challenge that I’m starting this year! Only, this one will be a five-year challenge!

 

For this challenge, the Classics Club Challenge, I’ll be committing to reading 50 classic books in the next five years, starting on January 1st. I’m actually hoping that I’ll finish quite a bit before that, but I’m giving myself a little room for some extra-long books that may take more time to get through.

Below, is my list of all the books I plan on reading. I reserve the right to change these, as needed. When I finish a book, I’ll be linking my review of the book from here.

If you would like more information on this reading challenge, please check out The Classics Club.
