I completed my first Classics Club list in April 2018 - 7 months behind schedule.
Part of the reason for the time lag was my impatience to start CC List #2 before I had finished the first!

ReplyDeleteHave you included some Nobel Winners?
ReplyDeleteNot consciously - I forgot...I'll make a point of reading some of the more recent/modern Nobel winners instead :-)
DeleteMy "Nobel reads"......low on my priority list.
DeleteBetter luck next year...
Fabulous. It's an excellent combination of old and new(ish), long works and short works, with the heady inclusion of both well known and (somewhat) obscure books.
ReplyDelete"Edith Wharton by Virginia Lee" - LOL. Do you mean Hermione Lee? :)
ReplyDeleteI spy Testament of Friendship! EXCELLENT book.
Whooops! Thanks for picking that up Jillian - for some reason I always struggle with that one :-)
DeleteI love the Annotated Jane Austen series, I've read three of them and they're wonderful. I own a lot of these books! The Makioka Sisters is wonderful, also all the Willa Cathers. Also a fan of Wilkie Collins and I haven't read any of those yet, so I look forward to your posts about those! And so much Zola, I'm verklempt.
