I tried – I really tried – but I could not read much of it. I felt like I was reading one of my husband’s technical books for work – like the words were all there, but they were going in and not making any sense. I don’t want to think of this as a failure on my part, though – I really did try!

I have Little Women on my list this year as well as Mark Twain’s A Murder, A Mystery and A Marriage. I’ve never read the Twain book but the title intrigues me. Sorry I missed Hamlet.

I like the idea of Little Women, definitely. The Great Gatsby comes to mind too.

What about Anne of Green Gables, Little Women or some classic science fiction like Journey to the Center of the Earth? Cry, the Beloved Country is also good.

Well, I tried to post this earlier today, but it must not have gone through.

I would really like to participate in this, but I missed out on this challenge because I came a little too late to the party. However, I am up for the Les Mis challenge anyway, because it is #1 on my TBR list this year. Maybe I can get to I Know Why, as well.

As far as suggestions for the future go, I would like to be held accountable to read Huck Finn. I have NEVER read it. Isn’t that terrible? How about Wuthering Heights? I haven’t read it since high school. I would also like to re-read Jane Eyre since it has been a while since I enjoyed it.

All of the suggestions ound wonderful!! I am excited to be joining this year. I love Shakespeare but find much more enjoyment and understanding when watching it performed (perferably on stage) than when reading. Although I love the language, it just rolls off the tongue after a while. The rhythm is amazing.

I’D like to read Ben-Hur at some point. Well. I AM going to read the following books this year and if you make it a part of the Classics Bookclub I’ll just save them for the appropriate times! =D (Ha.)

1. Ben-Hur
2. Around the World in 80 Days
3. The Pathfinder. (Although I confess Pathfinder is on my shelf but I wouldn’t read it without considerable motivation – like this book club.)

By the time February rolls around I intend to be into Les Mis in order to participate in March!
