I have stayed away from classics for the most part since I graduated from college, and I wanted to start reading them again. I think I needed a little extra motivation, so when I saw this club, I thought this could be just what I need. I figure I should be done about 5 years from now.

I just read A Streetcar Named Desire. It was so good!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It will be a reread for me, but I have thing for Tennessee Williams!
DeleteI've read The Beautiful and Damned and A Moveable Feast for the Classics Club. I can highly recommend joining in the spins, read-alongs and other group activities as a way to inspire you to read another classic in good company :-)
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to! I need to pay more attention to what is going on. Lol.
DeleteI love this idea! There are still a lot of classics I feel like I should read, but I'm never very motivated. :P I read Great Expectations a few years back and it was actually really good; several of these I grew up on, like The Hobbit, Peter Pan, and The Secret Garden. I haven't yet read The Importance of Being Earnest, but I was recently introduced to the film, and it was hilarious. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI have kind of fallen behind on this, but I still like the idea. It is going to take me longer than I anticipated I think! Lol. My motivations not there a whole lot either, for classics. I loved the movie The Importance of Being Earnest!! That is why I put it on here. I have read some of these before, and want to go back and read them again; some I have never read at all. I never read Peter Pan though!
