I spent much of 2017 reading recent bestsellers and want to get back to reading some classics. I’ve decided to participate in a reading challenge, where I will read one classic for every letter of the alphabet. Here is my list:
- A Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte
- B Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
- C Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell
- D Dubliners by James Joyce
- E East of Eden by John Steinbeck
- F Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
- G The Giver by Lois Lowry
- H
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood - I I, Robot by Isaac Asimov
- J Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier
- K Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson
- L
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov - M
Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie - N The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
- O Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
- P Peyton Place by Grace Metalious
- Q The Quiet American by Graham Greene
- R
The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe - S The Snows of Kilimanjaro by Ernest Hemingway
- T
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe - U Utopia by Thomas More
- V Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho
- W The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
- X Xingu by Edith Wharton
- Y The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
- Z Zeno’s Conscience by Italo Svevo
That is a really interesting challenge, I think it would be a fun one to participate in. Do you read a lot of classics? I’ve not really read any and find them difficult to comprehend.
I’m actually hoping to use this Classics Challenge to help me read more classics, because I want to, but I always get distracted by newer bestsellers.
