Read Dracula long ago, but wouldn't mind doing a reread. For some reason, A Tale of Two Cities is one I've always meant to read yet never have.bibliophiliachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495943887513443615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-25602647141682963832014-03-30T14:37:59.182-07:002014-03-30T14:37:59.182-07:00Great classics list !

I'm really looking forward to keeping up with my list. <br />@stu-thanks stu!<br />@Kristen-well, 50 over the course of 5 years is only 10 classics a year....I'm going for 17 a year, which is not that many if I read an average of a book a week (a conservative number)...The Classics Club is how I'll try to keep motivated.

I'm almost afraid to look, because I know I will want to add more books. I like your idea of adding books as you cross books off....If I read 17 classics a year I will finish my list in five years. I think I can....Some books on my list are rereads, too, so at least I already know I like those books...bibliophiliachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495943887513443615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-22111406586811975912012-11-11T08:51:16.056-08:002012-11-11T08:51:16.056-08:00Wow, that's some list, and so many I haven'...Wow, that's some list, and so many I haven't heard of.

It's a bit of a risk.

It is my favorite novel, and I knew I would have to read it at least once in the next five years.
