Since I want to read more classics this year, I’m joining the Classics Club. All you have to do is make a list of books you want to read in the next five years. I have listed more than the 50 I want to read just to give me more choices. I always get so overwhelmed by choices so I’m really glad to have a finite list to pick from finally :)

Wow! That is a huge list. I have to say that this list would be similar to a list I would do if I joined the club. Love it! I think this year I will read Siddhartha this year.

Yay! Welcome to the club :)
Wilkie Collins’ are great mysteries!! And I hope you do get to pick up Little Women! Lovely book :)
I still have to get to Don Quixote and all those Dumas! They’re all so big and I’ve tried 3 Musketeers but could not finish a few years ago so it might be time to try again… :)

Catch-22 is fantastic!
