Well, this challenge was also too tempting to resist! After I got the first taste of making lists with intended reading from O, here's another one that whetted my appetite:
Karen is hosting the 2015 Back to Classics challenge, and I'm still cautious and have (only) indicated 7 categories for which I intend to read books - obviously, if all goes well, there will be more:
- A Classic by a Woman Author: The Tennant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë
- A Very Long Classic Novel: The Moonstone by W. Collins
- A Classic Novella: The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells
- A Classic with a Person's Name in the Title: Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence
- A Humorous or Satirical Classic:Thank you, Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse
- A Classic Children's Book: Charlotte's Web by E.B.White
- A Classic Play: A Streetcar Named Desire, by Tennessee Williams
One other category I'm interested in is the Forgotten Classic, and here I want to go through my Persephone catalogue to see which title could entice me...
Charlotte's Web is one of my favorites from childhood. (Really, my very favorite.) Hope you like it! :)
ReplyDeletethanks Marianne!
DeleteAh, I just read your About Page & see that Charlotte's Web is a reread. Great choice. I just reread it too. :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed, haven't read it since childhood - curious to see what messages I'll get now...
DeleteI read Streetcar for A' Levels :) Have you seen the film?
ReplyDeleteActually no, I intend to watch it after I've read the book to make comparisons...
DeleteGreat list! I'm really looking forward to reading The Moonstone. Collins' novels are always fun reads. Happy Classics Challenge!
ReplyDeletethanks - same to you!
DeleteI have The Tenant of Wildfell Hall on my list too. And after seeing The Moonstone, I'm reminded I still have that one lying unread on my shelf!
ReplyDeleteAll the best with completing this challenge next year. ^_^
I look fwd to comparing notes!
