2017 Reading Challenge discussion

This folder is for books that are considered to be classics.

Bonus - many of them are short! But some of them are also rather long(winded).

Please share your suggestions, or any resources you've used to help find your book for this category in this thread.

I have decided to read "The Great Gatsby" because it is one that I own but haven't read yet.
Suggestions of my favorite classics:
Anne of Green Gables
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Pride and Prejudice
The Hobbit
Wuthering Heights
Little Women
The Chronicles of Narnia

Animal Farm

1001 Books to Read Before You Die list is a good source for me. It has many more modern classics. I really have a hard time with the oldies.

I have a collection of Mark Twain books, and I have been meaning to read through it this year. So, there are a lot I can choose from in that anthology.

Planning on finally reading To Kill a Mockingbird for this category.

Planning on The Great Gatsby or finally finish The Chronicles of Narnia. I have been stuck in Prince Caspian since last year.

Middlemarch
I am reading this for the Ravelry Book club, so I can double up.:>

Read Wuthering Heights for this category. Found it quite heavy, dark and morose but charming in an odd way.

I was planning on reading this one as well.

Do you think a play would work? Like something by Shakespeare?

Sure! I think so anyway.

I am a bit confused, I thought the category was "a classic of the 20th century" that's what I wrote when I first copied the categories. I am still going to make it so, and I will be reading The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers because I have never read any of her books, and the title always has captured my attention.

Just finished The Pilgrim's Progress for this task. I was a difficult read for me, but I did enjoy it more than I thought I would.

I loved this book when I read it during high school. I think it will be my reread choice this year. Does that make me a classic?

what is wrong with me!! I just cant get into classics, I do keep trying but I always struggle to find one I can finish, started the woman in white by Wilkie Collins this time and have given up!!
