Classics Club

The Classics Club is an awesome idea detailed HERE, in which bloggers are encouraged to read, share and discuss classic literature. The goal? Read your self-generated list of classics in a self-determined time frame (up to five years) and blog about your experiences. All my posts pertaining to the Classics Club can be found here.
