Yeah, I read classics a lot, including things on the MLA 100 books of the 20th century. Not necessarily things that were assigned that I didn't read, but sometimes books it seems everyone else had to read.

Is that this list: www.modernlibrary.com/top-100/100-best-novels/

Yes indeed! I've read about 22. It's only taken me like 15 years.

Just got back from a Disney trip but I've been reading Horns and enjoying it. I did find it hilarious that there's a Harry Potter reference in the book and Daniel Radcliffe plays the main character for the movie coming up.

QOTW: I was the kid in school who loved all the required reading. I'm still planning on reading classics that my school didn't get to.

I'm glad to hear you say that, because I have only read about 15 of those!  More of the people's choice column, though.

I'm reading War Brides by Helen Bryan. So far I'm enjoying it- I'm 1/4 way through. It's # 44 for the year.

QOTW: Hmm, nope I don't think so. Most of the books in school were classics and I don't usually enjoy reading classics, TBH. I also can't remember what the other books were when we had a choice between books, so maybe I've read some? I don't know.

it's a good choice! :Y:
