I own the hard copy of that book and at the end of each year I go through the whole thing and check off the books I read.

I'm working on my own plans for making progress on the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die list, so I'll certainly be reading many classics too.

I like completing lists so it works well. <br /><br />Jillian - You have to read it! I'll have to check out the other classics challenge, that sounds great. <br /><br />Teacher/Learner - I love S&S so much. I re-read P&P this year and it made me want to pick that one up immediately.<br /><br />Alex - Heck yeah, let's coordinate it and read it at the same time. I love being able to compare notes with someone else when i'm reading a classic. I could do that one anytime, but I do love reading big classics in winter time, maybe February? <br /><br />Carl V. - Once I make a list I always want to dive right in, but I'll try to hold off until January.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-11015854040596653492011-11-07T13:51:02.484-05:002011-11-07T13:51:02.484-05:00I'm looking forward to reading some good class...I'm looking forward to reading some good classic science fiction in the month of January. IF I can wait that long. Thankfully I've got some planned reading that will distract me a bit from my sf jones. It always returns the minute that the weather starts getting cold.Carl V.

Really must fix that in 2012.) <br /><br />There's another classics challenge going on at the same time as this one, from the blog November's Autumn. I posted about it yesterday. (I'd leave a link to the November's Autumn blog, but I am afraid that might send this to SPAM.) Anyway, to let you know! Looks like a great pair to Sarah's Challenge. :-)<br /><br />Have fun, Melissa! I'm excited for 2012!*ೃ༄ Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139487177036647728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-25346395788987373042011-11-07T06:34:58.968-05:002011-11-07T06:34:58.968-05:00I should consider this one as I really want to rea...I should consider this one as I really want to read more classics, but I'm on the fence as to whether I'll be joining challenges for 2012.
